Beep Beep the Road Runner #29

In "Bird World Whirl," Wile E. Coyote takes a wrong turn on a winding mountain trail, narrowly avoiding disaster thanks to a cleverly placed sign held by Beep Beep—the Road Runner’s signature move in this high-speed chase. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated with crisp energy by Phil De Lara, with lettering by Bill Spicer, this 1972 Western comic issue captures the classic slapstick chaos of the duo’s endless pursuit. The cover by Jack Manning perfectly encapsulates the tension, with Wile on his scooter just before the curve.
