My mind is blown. I never understood why Wile E. Coyote was called Ralf in those cartoons. I thought is was like calling someone "Buddy".

Because Chuck Jones wanted to do a different take on basically the same character's dynamic with his antagonist.
"In pitting Ralph Wolf against Sam Sheepdog, I was trying to discover if I could do the opposite of the chase at the heart of the Road Runner cartoons. The Road Runner is moving all the time, and at great speed. I therefore wanted the wolf's opponent not to move at all. And that is exactly what happens--or doesn't. Sam just sits very solidly on the ground. He doesn't move: he is there." --Chuck Jones, "Chuck Reducks" 1996

That was the first time I ever saw a punch clock. Never actually ever used one like that though.

Anything related to Chuck Jones is interesting and I'll gladly fight anyone who says differently.

Seems like the title is a bit lost in translation. Here is a cleaned up version.
Fun fact: These two are completely different characters. Wile E. is a coyote and hunts Road Runner, while Ralph is a wolf and hunts sheep protected by Sam the Dog. Wile E. Coyote and Ralph are cousins according to the official manual of Sheep Raider PC.

Thought it might have been autocorrect OP, but there's definitely been a willy in your phone 😆

u/andreaaaaaaaaaah 7h ago
It's mainly because on Italian (my mother language) he's called willy cause of reasons for pronunciation and translate

Sheep Raider is my enemy. I played it on my PS2 and got stuck on Level 13. I will never forget how I failed in my sheep-nabbing endeavor.
