===Television and film===

This visual metaphor is common, for example, in [[Warner Bros.|Warner Brothers]]' ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Merrie Melodies]]'' shorts, such as those with [[Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner]].<ref>{{Cite magazine | url=https://www.wired.com/2012/12/acme-poster-kickstarter/ | title=Elaborate Poster Puts All of Wile E.
