Fair point on the name, but even the cite to Chuck Jones’ website says that they there are virtually the same character with nose and eyecolor being different, and Ralph not having the “egotistical bearing” or “upper-class accent” of Wile E. Coyote.

I was about to say that I cannot believe I am litigating the deceptive similarities between Wile E. Coyote and his clear alter ego Ralph Wolf!
Apparently he only spoke outside of the Road Runner cartoons… A lot of people tend to forget that Wile E. Coyote actually did talk in Looney Tunes, but only in cartoons with Bugs Bunny . He also was indeed voiced by the legendary Mel Blanc. This was from the short Operation Rabbit, directed by Chuck Jones.
I am not able to let this go (and I am trying to avoid doing yard work for a few minutes more): Wile E. Coyote and Ralph Wolf ARE the same!
Indeed, I came across a Twitter thread posing the question, “How old were you when you realized Wile E. Coyote and Ralph Wolf were not the same?” Well, for me, it’s well-documented on CC that it was at the tender age of XX that my long-held/never-questioned belief came to an end.
So, I am now embarking on a new career as a creative consultant to Looney Tunes, in charge of new character development. Thus far, I’ve come up with the following:
- Groovy Goose
- Howard Hog and his companion Hattie Hog
- Grand Canyon Gordon
and my masterpiece
Disney kind of does the same.
Perhaps that’s because you are a Suuuuupppper genius😀
So many of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I liked these unmentioned ones as well:
Top Cat
Secret Squirrel
Fat Albert
Adventures of Gulliver
Hong Kong Phooey
Speedbuggy
LOL at Grand Canyon Gordon!
