![]() Thursday, November 18, 2004 This is true. I wish I'd thought of this comment by Harry at Tim Blair's on cartoons instigated by Lileks comments on his Bleat. Wile E. Coyote is a mythic fusion of Sisyphus and Tantalus. He is doomed to labor eternally at a task that he can never complete, tormented all the while by the presence of the sustenance he craves (the Road Runner) just outside his reach, but close enough to see, hear, and even smell. He is continually subjected to agonizing pain and massively crippling injuries, but he can never die; instead, he heals instantaneously and is forced to continue his hopeless efforts. I always wondered why I found the Road Runner cartoons infinitely irritating. posted by Mark Butterworth | 11:45 PM | |
