Road runner was Coyote's 'white whale'
The other day I saw an old one-liner I'd seen many times before, something like "if the coyote had money for all that ACME stuff, why didn't he just buy dinner?"
With way too much idle time, a similarity occurred to me - the coyote was Ahab, and the roadrunner was his obsession, Moby Dick.
What do you think?
