acme catalog
I've had fun looking over the entire acme catalog — that famous source for all modern inventions used by Wile E. Coyote. Certainly part of what makes those cartoons work so well is that the audience not only sympathizes with the Roadrunner, the underdog, in wanting to see Coyote foiled, but also the audience sympathizes with the Coyote, who tries to fit modern technology with ancient urges, with varying degrees of failure. Who hasn't had that experience?
