Reality Check The Beaker vs. The Roadrunner copyright trial: During the course of this trial I intend to prove that my client was the first one to say meep!
It’s generally written as “Beep-Beep” (IIRC, FedEx even used to use it as a promo, 1-800-Beep-Beep [although you’d only be able to dial Beep-Bee]); but it’s always voiced as “Meep-Meep.”

Let’s see, the Road Runner was created in 1948, Beaker first appeared with Bunsen in 1977.A no-brainer here :P :P :P

Haha! Love it! Due to an obvious conflict of interest, Judge Børk had to recuse himself.

The Road Runner always said “beep beep” not “meep,” I think Dave dropped the ball on this one,

Ooh … this could get ugly.
Good strip, though. Made me laugh.
