. . . doesn't he first have to be bitten by some other critter infected with rabies? (I seem to remember that some spelunkers died from rabies after wriggling through a tight squeeze on their tummies, through what turned out to be a deposit of "guano," or bat droppings, from which they inhaled the contagion of this always-fatal condition, as the flying vampires had this infection to begin with, but apparently this was a rare exception to that "first bitten" rule.) Since Mr. Coyote is the only rider shown here until the very end, presumably HE is the title character of RABID RIDER. Which begs the question: WHO gave Wile E. Rabies?!
