I swear, Wile E. Coyote is a Native American trickster spirit! The more I read about the coyote trickster spirits, the more I see that goof chasing the road runner and getting creamed in the process. The Native Coyote is full of mischief and he gets himself into trouble all the time. He foolishly puts himself into bad situations and is led to disaster as the audience watches or listens with anticipation and a smile. The Coyote regularly gets killed and then comes back to life. Sounds a great deal like our Looney Toon!
Now I wonder if the rabbit trickster compares to Bugs Bunny?
