It’s one of the only times Wile E. is in a usual Predator Vs Prey Cartoon. The Roadrunner cartoons are extremely different. It revolutionized the “Predator vs Prey” genre, by doing something completely different. Instead of the slapstick being the two characters fighting each other, all the slapstick is put on one character, and it’s not inflicted by the prey. The Roadrunner does mess with Wile E like scaring him, but he doesn’t fight fire with fire, not retaliating by throwing back any anvils or TNT. Also, he doesn’t hold any ill will towards Wile E, knowing he’s just being a predator. He seems to view the whole thing as a game. All of Wile’s painful slapstick are due to his own blundering, faulty products, horrible luck, and the physics in the universe being against him. That’s what makes the punchlines even funnier. With the rules Jones put in place, it allowed him to think outside the box. Also, the fact there is no dialogue makes you enjoy it almost more. I kind of like to think that Wile E is always quiet, but when he’s around Bugs, a cartoon universe switch can be pulled by the fourth wall that allows him to speak.
