This i sa Fine Art photo of the vintage motel sign named "The Road Runner Motel". The Road Runner is one of the characters in the cartoon which pairs it with Wile E. Coyote in a series of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. The characters represent a Greater Road runner & a Coyote. To date, 48 cartoons have been made featuring these characters and they have also appeared in: movies, TV, video games, song and comic books. The Coyote character is based on Mark Twain's book "Roughing It", in which Twain described the coyote as "a long, slim, sick and sorry-looking skeleton" that is "a living, breathing allegory of Want. He is always hungry". In spite of this description, the Roadrunner is the state bird of New Mexico. Oh so many interesting notes on the Road Runner, all the more reason to own this delightful photo of "The Road Runner Motel." Think of all of the cartoon friends you have that would appreciate this photo as a gift.
