   From Wiki and Reddit: Chuck Jones, the creator of the Road Runner, has stated that this sound, the only way the Road Runner can harm the Coyote, was inspired by hearing a Doppler-like effect as background artist Paul Julian imitated a car horn when he could not see where he was going. Julian voiced the various recordings of the phrase used throughout the Road Runner cartoons, although on-screen he was uncredited for his work. Although commonly quoted as “meep meep”, Warner Bros., the current owner of all trademarks relating to the duo, lists “beep, beep” as the Road Runner’s sound, along with “meep, meep.” According to animation historian Michael Barrier, Julian’s preferred spelling of the sound effect was either “hmeep hmeep” or “mweep, mweep”. And remember in the earliest cartoons, the roadrunner flipped out his tongue twice with a fluttery sound before “Beep Beep” or whatever. I think that came back with some of the late Freleng cartoons.

   Hell, Harold became a cartoonist. Came up with a comic strip. “Little Annie Roonie” or something.

   It’’s an English conceit that Cornwall is part of England. It’s more properly a duchy of Great Britain. If you go to Cornwall (Kernow) you will see signs in two languages: English and Cornish (a sister language to Welsh and Breton.). Cornwall has its own traditions, language (in revival,) legends, and lore and instances of rebellion against England. Arthur (if he existed) was likely a Romano-British Celt who held the Anglo-Saxon invaders at bay for a generation.

   Yes, Steve, I see that. But that is Kamen’s art. May be from a story called “The Fly.” My E.C. collection isn’t extensive.’

   Interesting. The next to the last panel is a Jack Kamen illustration from some 50’s EC comic. Dunno if the dialogue in the balloon has been altered.
