No, he was not squashed by a falling safe or run over by an Acme Indestructo Steel Ball. Jones created the Road Runner and Coyote cartons. Rules from that series:

  • "No dialogue ever, except 'beep beep."
  • "No outside force can harm the Coyote -- only his own ineptitude or the failure of the Acme products."
  • "The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures."
