"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius.
I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics:
you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper.
Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius,
while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten,
so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers."
Fun Stuff click to show This was the second cartoon to feature Wile E. Coyote (following 1949's Fast and Furry-ous), and the first in which he is identified by his full name. It is also the first in which the Coyote speaks; his voice, like Bugs's, was provided by Mel Blanc. The two characters would reappear together in the cartoons To Hare Is Human (1956), Rabbit's Feat (1960), Compressed Hare (1961), and Hare-Breadth Hurry (1963).
