Starting as a cel washer, Chuck Jones worked his way up to animator and
then director at the animation division of Warner Bros. He is famous
for creating such beloved cartoon characters as Wile E. Coyote, Henery
Hawk, Pepé Le Pew, Marvin the Martian, Ralph Wolf, Road Runner, Sam
Sheepdog, Sniffles, and many others, as well as adding to the
development of Warner favorites such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky
Pig and countless others.
His most famous cartoons tend to have been created with writer Michael Maltese. Jones' autobiography, published by Simon & Schuster "Chuck Amuck"--a pun on his Daffy Duck short Duck Amuck (1953)--gives a very amusing account of his life. It is liberally sprinkled with hundreds of cartoons with some color plates.
