Hook, Line and Stinker is a 1958 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. [1] The short was released on October 11, 1958 with The Old Man and the Sea, and stars Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. [2] The title is a pun on the phrase "hook, line and sinker", which means to have been deceived or tricked.
The familiar chase between Wile E. Coyote (also known as "Famishius-Famishus"), and the Road Runner (or "Burnius-Roadibus"), unfolds with its classic slapstick humor.
