The Whizzard of Ow	comment	"The Whizzard of Ow" is a 2003 Looney Tunes cartoon starring our beloved comic desert duo, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. It is notable for being the first Road Runner cartoon made after the death of Chuck Jones, and is available as a special feature on the DVD release of Looney Tunes: Back in Action.The short starts out with a pair of rival sorcerers battling each other in an epic duel, which abruptly ends when they accidentally zap each other into oblivion, leaving their intact possessions to fall towards the desert road and hit Wile E. Coyote, ruining his chance of eventually getting his predatory hands on the Road Runner. However, Wile E. uses those possessions as an advantage to concoct new magical schemes, which as usual... well, you get the point.
