If you can pull yourself away from Cartoon Network’s New Years Day marathon of Looney Tunes, you might tune into coverage of the annual Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena. The 33rd of 100 floats entered represents New Mexico, and the state chose the Road Runner (their state bird) and Wile E. Coyote to celebrate the parade’s theme of “Hats off to Entertainment” in this year’s event.

Chuck Jones daughter Linda and his grandson Craig will be riding on the float. Above is the concept sketch, and a few photographs of the float during construction can be seen in this news story out of Santa Fe, NM.

I can’t think of a better way to begin 2009 than with the brilliant legacy of Chuck Jones!!!

They need to have a Bugs Bunny popping out of a rabbit hole in the back saying “I should have made that left turn at Albuquerque.”
