Oh, poor kitty. :| Yeah, you run away a lot, and you kept yourself safe, doing all the possible... But then, sbam! Great move, Rufus! :D So, that good dog saved you. :) You'll have to wait more to eat, nasty coyote, and you'll need an heal too. :P

She/he does seem mildly younger than Rufus. If they are still alive, they’d be pretty old most likely considering Rufus was up there in years
I was thinking more in terms of this chapter rather than the present. There’s no telling how old they are back then. They could only be roughly ten years older than Kitten Max which would put them in their late twenties or early thirties now.

I can't be the only one who things that Rufus looks adorable in the last strip especially with the hay hanging out of his mouth.

Wonder if Rufus plays tennis? Fella's got a killer backhand!

Nyet. Ralph Wolf is not Wile E. He has a red nose, he's clearly not related at all! :P

Sam's the sheepdog.
Part of me thinks Ralph must be Wile E.’s cousin. Another part of me thinks Warner Bros got real lazy on that one.

Except that while Ralph only goes after sheep as a job, Wiley is incredibly obsessed with the Road Runner. Plus after hours, Ralph and Sam appear to be friends. Can you honestly see Wile and Road Runner being friends after hours?

I guess that’s the difference between being a wolf and being a coyote. Wolves are much more respected and treated with a higher level of, for the lack of a better word, love than coyotes. Example, you don’t see Miles being hit by a shovel.

... yet. The one character I can’t ever see Rick doing that to is Karishad... and that’s mostly because I’d never believe you could manage to hit him

I think that Miles would rather be hit by a shovel rather than be beaten and humiliated by Gayle. :lol:

Out of curiosity do we want to see more of Coyote Sam or are we good with this? I kinda want more. He/she had such a minor role but I feel like we bonded. ;)

Six of one, half dozen of the other ... although I always did like the old "The Fox and the Crow" comics.

King knocked out Duchess with a shovel two years and three months before Shovel Knight came out so I'm guessing it's unrelated.

One of a cattle dog like Australian shepherds's responsibilities is protecting the livestock from predation so he might be out patrolling doing his job.

Sam's the sheepdog.
I got mixed up because they're not consistent. In the short where they trade off to another pair of workers at the end, they're "Ralph" Sheepdog and "George" Wolf, and the replacements are "Sam" Wolf and "Fred" Sheepdog. When the whistle blows Ralph is beating up George, and they trade places so Fred is beating up Sam.

That is because in their earlier appearances, them and their replacements were always named inconsistently. The correct names that are established are Ralph Wolf, Sam Sheepdog, Fred Wolf and George Sheepdog. The first short calls Sam "Ralph". And the second one (which is where I think you are confused) calls Sam "Ralph", Ralph "George" and George "Sam". Fred seems to be the only name they got right though he was only referred to that name once. Ah the magic of the 1950s where continually on cartoons is almost non-existent.

So their official names aren't the ones they actually used. But we know the cattle-dog is named Rufus, and the cat is named Max. I guess the coyote could coincidentally be named Ralph, but who's Sam then? Is Sam the Crow?

For the sake of consistency I think we should leave the coyote as Sam. No matter what Looney Tunes names were.

Then I vote we name the crow Ralph because the characters are named Sam and Ralph so since Sam is paired with Ralph, the other name should be used for the crow.

Guys, we never got confirmation on if Coyote Sam was male or female, heck, the coyote Sam thing is just a nickname that stuck to them

In their first strip the coyote did have eyelashes and in HP that normally indicates they're female. The name Sam isn't just a nickname; one interpretation is the alt text is Rufus saying "mornin' sam" to the coyote indicating her name is Sam.

I know where the nickname came from, just saying we don’t even know if they have/will have a name the next time they appear
