Creator of the monomaniacal Wile E. Coyote and his elusive prey, the Road Runner, Chuck Jones has won three Academy Awards and been responsible for many classics of animation featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Elmer Fudd. "A Flurry of Drawings" reveals in cartoon-like sequences the humour and reflection that have shaped Chuck Jones's work. Unlike Walt Disney, Jones and his fellow animators at Warner Brothers were not interested in cartoons that mimicked reality. They pursued instead the reality of the imagination, the Toon world where believability is more important than realism, and movement is the ultimate aesthetic arbiter. Kenner offers both an explanation of cartoon culture and an understanding of art's relationship to technology, criticism, freedom, and imagination.
