One of my favorite cartoons, as a kid.
The hook and swept back hackle do a nice job of implying speed. Lovely blend of materials and craftsmanship, Hans.

Re: Road Runner
I think the grouse wing hackle is just the right choice for this one, along with the choice of hook.
very nice tie, thanks for posting.
