Man, how could I have forgotten the Flintsones. I loved those cars with the undercarriages removed so you could power the cars with your feet, ha.
The roadrunner was always great fun. You already knew what the story would be. Wiley Coyote would wait for his new contraption in a wooden box, always from "ACME", and it would contain the latest bizarre invention designed to snag the roadrunner. The whole series worked without any dialogue. Wily or was it Wile E. didn't say much, and the roadrunner expressed all he ever need say with a "bleep bleep".Â
Right on that they picked two resilient and adaptable animals for the characters. Coyotes can find a spot just about any environment, and the roadrunners--of which I have seen many--do indeed pick the dusty aprons of less-traveled, two lane highways to run up and down so to not to slow their search for lizards, snakes, insects, the their other fare which are way disadvantaged because their runner's unimpeded foot speed is something to see.Â
A bit off subject. When I was a kid i would go to the movie, early matinee cost a quarter. This was pre Hanna. There was the movie, and usually a double feature. Before the movie or movies there was an international news reel, a cartoon, and and an episode of a serial. I only remember two serieals: Rocket Man, and Flash Gordon. Rocket Man wore a clunky looking suit, like a deep diving outfit, with a pointed as opposed to rounded helmet. He would run, then hit flat-footed and blast into the air, then land and beat some men in hats up.  Â
Who is this:Â "Boy, I say BOY!"
All great stuff Ice.
