COYOTE [Mark Twain spells it "cayote"]

 

The cayote is a living, breathing allegory of Want. He is always hungry. He is always poor, out of luck and friendless. The meanest creatures despise him and even the flea would desert him for a velocipede.

Wil E Coyote

Animation cartoon artist Chuck Jones who created Wil E. Coyote was fond of Mark Twain's writing.
