“I always thought Wile E. Coyote was an underrated artist.”
I laughed.
“No, really. Not only can the roadrunner enter a tunnel he’s drawn, but a truck can come out.”
I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to laugh at this, so I just studied the mural on the building and nodded.
“Here, look at this one,” she said, pointing to another building.
A deep forest turned into a sky full of geese.
“Cool painting,” I said.
She smiled, stepped into the mural, and was soon lost in the forest.
That is when I noticed the signature.
“Wile E. Coyote”

Good point about the coyote. Not sure I’d go into the painting though, what if you can’t get back out?

It looks like a pleasant enough world… Yeah, not sure I’d want to be stuck there. The roadrunner always got out, so there is hope.

Wile E. Coyote can never access what he’s drawn… This guy should try!
