The Holder Of The Signs

To continue with my Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toons Character List, I will announce my Number 9 favorite. That lucky toon is, Calamity Coyote! This character was a kid version of everyone's favorite silent coyote. He would chase after the roadrunner, Little Beeper. Of course, Calamity would never catch the bird, resulting in painful situations. He's one of my favorite characters because he's just so helpless. The canine can't seem to catch a single break. Either his devices are exploding or malfunctioning, or he's seriously hurt. Plus, Calamity is super smart, and uses his devices to help his friends. In the show he is usually seen using signs to speak, instead of talking. I believe he once actually talked with a real voice, but I'm not sure. Either way, Calamity successfully captures the silent humor that his mentor used to get laughs. He and Little Beeper's comical adventures will always make me laugh, even when Tiny Toons is forgotten.With all the explosions, daring plans of capture, and otherwise miserable failures, the two are hilarious. So, I dedicate the Number 9 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toon Characters List to Calamity Coyote. May one day you catch that racing roadrunner (Though you never will)!
