I don’t think anyone’s mentioned the drunken stork that always mid-delivers to the wrong parents. I think he was in more than one episode, but not sure about the parents. I know one set was a mom and pop gorilla.

I was always slightly disturbed by the domestic violence undertones, especially with the bear family.

Did the she-devil appear in more than one episode?

How about Killer the vulture? You know, the “duh, my mama done told me, tuh get sumtin for dinnuh” guy. Bugs was, of course, the lead, but Killer was his foil and got just as much screen time.

Also, how about Bugsy, the short gangster? He appeared in at least two cartoons.

I object to the blatant anti-_Tiny Toons_ bias in the OP.

Is “Ralph the Wolf” really a wolf, or is he just an avatar of Coyote?

And are there 2 coyotes: Coyote (latin name), silent, nemesis of Roadrunner; and Wile E. Coyote, supergenius, who speaks, nemesis of Bugs?

Definitely a different character. They look similar, but the noses are different colored.

And I usually see them without a “the” in their names; Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog.

I maintain that they are two different characters, played by the same actor. This idea has yet to find mainstream acceptance.
