Does anyone know if Mr. Wile E. Coyote ever caught the Roadrunner in the end?

Cheers.

Anything here in answers.com? or here from wikipedia.org?

I often wondered what the outcome of [broken link removed] courtcase was in which WEC sued the acme company.


See also [broken link removed] the rules of the roadrunner.

As to why Wile E. Coyote never catches the Road Runner, Chuck Jones (creator of the pair) laid out these rules for all Road Runner cartoons:

1. The coyote never catches the road runner;
2. The road runner never actively interferes with the coyote's plans;
3. The road runner must stick to the road;
4. Whenever possible, gravity is the coyote's biggest enemy.
