IVIV and Entropy

[rich]

if memory serves, Homer Simpson's spirit guide is a coyote (w/ the
voice of Johnny Cash--how cool is that?)--

and fwiw..i always think of the roadrunner as being female for some reason.

remember that talk about what's a genius? ...well obviously its Wile
E. Coyote, Super Genius

Flaubert famously said about Madam Bovary, C'est moi. Chuck Jones has
said essentially the same thing about Bugs and co.--that's partly what
makes so goddamn wonderful; in a sense, they are very real.
