next will be a coyote

And the new Mark Trail looks nothing like Mark Trail.

The Roadrunner doesn’t quite look like a (regular) roadrunner.

And Mark Trail’s roadrunner doesn’t say “Beep-beep!”.

aso it has been found that a coyote can run faster than a mere roadrunner

Oh, come on…I see the resemblance and I took ornithology.

Maybe it’s 2 different species that coincidentally have the same name? 9/10.

A few years ago, while on our morning walk, we saw a roadrunner on the deck of a neighbor doing a mating dance with his reflection in the glass door. He was quite excited.

When I was five years old, my family road-tripped from California to North Carolina. We were all excited to see a real, live roadrunner. Shortly after that, we saw a dead coyote.

most excellent

Is it true that Roadrunner, Inc is the corporate owner of ACME?

It’s called artistic license. Actually, Baby should really appreciate that…

Hee-hee.

If you’re on a highway and Road Runner goes beep beep. Just step aside or you might end up in a heap. Road Runner, Road Runner runs down the road all day. Even the coyote can’t make him change his ways.

Road Runner, the coyote’s after you. Road Runner, if he catches you you’re through. Road Runner, the coyote’s after you. Road Runner, if he catches you you’re through.

That coyote is really a crazy clown! When will he learn that he never can mow him down? Poor little Road Runner never bothers anyone, Just runnin’ down the road’s his idea of having fun.

The geococcyx, is like my favorite animal

“Meep-meep!”

I think mark is fine but that roadrunner is HUGE!

Sigh, those were the days. A reminder of those times before MT became a “must miss” strip. The art having abruptly gone from being among the very best, to not just amateurish, but shockingly ugly as well.
