What's up, Doc? Chuck Jones would have turned 100 today, according to my local paper, The Richmond Times-Dispatch, in their website. They had links to some of his amazing cartoon clips as well. What would Warner Bros. have been without him? And would Disney have been the same without their acerbic wit in competition?
Here is link to the article, which shows clips from the best Looney Tunes moments created by Chuck (as well as How the Grinch Stole Christmas)...

Chuck Jones: King of Cartoons
9/21/2012
Chuck Jones was a giant of the cartoon world, responsible for some of our very favorite classic characters.
Yes, he created Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, as well as Marvin the Martian, Pepe le Pew, Michigan J. Frog, and others. As an animator, director and producer for both Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, he gave us some of our favorite childhood moments. On the 100th anniversary of Jones's birth, we're looking back at some of his most wonderful work.
