History WesternAnimation / WarAndPieces1964

It is noteworthy for being the last classic-era Looney Tunes cartoon for Creator/ChuckJones (whose next project would be Literature/TheDotAndTheLine at MGM).

** The version shown on ABC's ''The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show'' cut the beginning where Wile E. Coyote lobs a grenade at The Roadrunner, only for the grenade to catapult back to him thanks to a desert cactus and the part where Wile E. tries to shoot The Roadrunner with a shotgun disguised as a peepshow called "Secrets of a Harem" and, predictably, gets shot in the face. (surprisingly, the end where Wile E. Coyote ends up in China and meets a Chinese version of The Roadrunner was not cut, despite a similar scene being edited when ABC showed the Sylvester and Tweety cartoon "Tweety and the Beanstalk")

* SavedByThePlatformBelow: Following the failed launch and StrippingSnag described downward. While the Coyote is holding onto the end of the bow for dear life, it snaps off and... he ends up dropping only a few inches. But then the whole formation drops, with him still on it..

"War and Pieces" is a 1964 cartoon featuring WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner ([[BinomiumRidiculus Caninus nervus rex and Burn-em-upus asphaltus]] respectively).

* StrippingSnag: When the Coyote attempts to launch over to the Road Runner, the bottom half of his pelt rips clean off, to reveal a pair of hairy legs, print underwear, and loose socks.

* DiggingToChina: For the final gag, Wile E.'s rocket winds up doing a U-turn on contact with the ledge. Then it ploughs through the center of the Earth and into China, where he discovers a Chinese Roadrunner in a coolie hat and geta. He goes after it, but the Roadrunner is carrying a gong that Wile E. crashes into, causing him to stumble down the hole and fall back to where he came.

Everything goes as well as it usually does for the Coyote, starting with a chase scene where he's carrying a hand grenade. The Road Runner outruns the explosive little thing, which (as he turns a corner of the road) ultimately bounces off the arm of a saguaro and flies right back into the Coyote's face. Now covered in cinders, the Coyote goes off to ponder his next play. Between a bow with a rope tied to his hide on a pulley, a hydraulic press activated by an electric eye beam (the closest the cartoon gets to a case of HomingBoulders), a can of invisible paint, a shotgun disguised as a peepshow, a grappling hook, and a mini-rocket that somehow tunnels all the way into China, the Coyote's ButtMonkey status reigns supreme.

* FingerExtinguisher: In the first AshFace instance, after the grenade boomerangs back at him, the Coyote takes stock of his smoldering tail and moistens his fingers to take care of the issue ("PFST!").
