13. I met Chuck Jones once...I am so grateful

It was only for a minute or so. He was signing cartoon cells at an art store. I had bought a cell a week before, (yes, I still have it) and he was nice enough to write a short signature and best wishes even though I did not buy anything on that date. I think back on the humor and fun that he and the other animators at WB created, I realize that I was very lucky to met him even for a moment. I love animation, and Wiley Coyote is my hero....

Oh, you may not know this, Chuck Jones and his crew only produced about 25 Roadrunner toons. The writer was Micheal Maltese. From those 25 or 26 toons have come an incredible amount of joy to the world. Yes, the entire world. Why? ...you really don't need to know any English in order to appreciate the humor. The poor hungry fellow, Wiley...is understood by all. He is nuts, but it is fun and makes people laugh..The first one was made in 1949..Fast and Furry-ous. Here is info on this cartoon:
