Acme crossword

Smart bird. The clues are all written in Morse code. 1 II 2R 3U 4S.

I think even I could do that crossword.

there has to be an “ACME” on there somewhere!

He finishes them so fast!

Meep, not beep?!

I’d like to see the clues.

The background music is “While My Guitar Gently Meeps”.

I don’t see a space for “coyote”.

Forgot the word “Acme!”

Mrs. Coyote – “Must you do everything fast”?

and I still can’t catch him :(

It’s like talking to a Wookie. It’s all in how it’s said.

Easiest crossword ever!

Too many four letter words!!!

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.

He’s wordle is pretty easy too.

I count 4, with one more easy one to go.

1 across was what does Beaker say?

He’s always down for a crossword.

Will Shortz does not approve.

When I watch the cartoons with closed captioning it come across as “meep meep”

Next thing, they’ll be telling us coyotes aren’t wily
