I’ve at all times liked drawing cartoons, ever since I can remember. I don’t know exactly when I started, but I came across this musty old picture when I was going through some papers today.
This is dated November 1970. It had to do with the Road Runner as well as Wile E. Coyote. I was a big fan of the show at the time. (I still am).
I was in Grade 1, as well as I vaguely remember drawing this. But I guess this picture was significant sufficient that my Mom saved it. And my Dad (I think) wrote on the back, transcribing my enthusiastic description of each picture.
So here’s my old artwork, as described by myself at age six.
*************************************************************
1. Coyote in special designed boat-car with guns. (”HMP” means miles per hour).
2. Coyote shooting special bullets at the Road Runner. Breaks the speed sign, purple paint falls off, misses Road Runner. Bullets ricochet off the sign as well as aim back at the boat. Road Runner doesn’t sink because of the fact that he runs too fast.
3. Broken sign. Coyote knows the boat is doomed, thus waves bye-bye. Meanwhile the Coyote was televised.
4. Road Runner standing on-shore as well as dries himself with towel. Coyote tries to swim to shore. Notice his anger - teeth are showing. Shark is attacking coyote, but doesn’t get him.
********************************************
Don’t request me WHY I drew this. At the time, I’m sure it made perfect logical sense to me.
But an estimated four decades later, I’m still drawing, as well as I still love the Coyote as well as the Road-Runner.
God Bless you, Chuck Jones.
