May 5, 1956 –

The Looney Tunes short, Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z, directed by Chuck Jones, starring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, debuted on this date.
The scene with the canvas of a broken bridge reverses the series’ usual gag – this time, the Road Runner cannot “jump into the painting“, but Wile E. Coyote can.
