Only because it's such a marvelous metaphor
There's an editorial about Warner Bros. "reimagining" their cartoon characters, which I'd say nothing about but for the closing paragraph:
See the dangers of re-imagining cartoons? If Wile E. Coyote spent half his money on real food instead of spending it all on Acme products, he could eat well and never chase again. But don't tell him.
Take a lesson.
