“Meep! Meep! ”
―Various cartoons
Road Runner (also known as Beep Beep ) is a Looney Tunes character created by Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese.
He debuted with his frequent adversary, Wile E. Coyote, in 1949's "Fast and Furry-ous". To date, 48 cartoons have been made featuring these characters (including the computer-animated shorts), most of which were directed by Chuck Jones. In each cartoon, Wile E. Coyote utilizes absurdly complex gizmos (often from ACME, a mail-order company and recurring gimmick in Looney Tunes) and elaborate plans to try to catch his prey, rather than his natural guile, but fails every time.
The Roadrunner speaks only with a signature "meep meep" noise (provided by Paul Julian) and an occasional "popping-cork" tongue noise.
