And now I notice for the first time, Philip DeGuard's classic coyote's den *way* in the background.

Yes! That's exactly right! From To Hare Is Human. Today, Wile does his drafting out of the den, where it's less drafty (and Bugs is apparently out-of-town). :-P

You should know this: how many Wile/Bugs shorts were there? I want to say three, but am I right?

Officially, there are five, not including the retread material that would appear in the waning days of the WB animation unit. The first is Operation: Rabbit ("Allow me to introduce myself," 1952), followed by: To Hare Is Human (1956), Rabbit's Feat (1960), Compressed Hare (1961), and Hare-Breadth Hurry (1963).

Of course, Compressed Hare, with the biggest disaster-gag payoff of any of these shorts.
I'm of two minds about Hare-Breadth Hurry. Since Bugs is standing in for the Road-Runner, it doesn't seem to be a true Bugs-Vs-Wile short.

Confidentially, I don't think I've ever seen Hare-Breadth Hurry.... ^?^

WHAT???
Considered one of those Looney Tunes too special to forget, it was one of the toons that was in rotation on the old Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show, along with the other wall-breakers/talkers that Bugs and Wile shared.
Here. You can get Da Toob, right?

Thanks for the link. This toon definitely shows the budgetary restraints that had begun strangling the WB animation division in the '60s, but it does have its moments, like:
seeing Bugs run using the leg-whirl typical of the RR;
the still-imaginative, gorgeously-rendered backgrounds;
Wile E. Coyote as tiptoe-ingly expressive and on-model as he was in the other Bugs/Wile pairings;
the enormous fish gag (LOL when Wile walks away with him);
the anvil gag (toon physics which favor Bugs, of course);
the shotgun/catapault gag, a stand-out that's as developed as anything that appeared in a  Zoom And Bored-era toon (Wile shows expert marksmanship, only to get flattened, then shot in the fanny);
the glue/telephone gag, being the one that makes the best use of Bugs (hard to imagine this one working with the RR).
Unfortunately, HBH lacks the battle-of-attitudes that gave the previous Bugs/Wile match-ups their sophistication (as in the Bugs/Daffy feud), leaving both of them, especially Bugs, looking a little paler in the comparison. But it is different and doesn't suffer too much from its jarring premise. If the toon had been made ten years earlier (before television was the intended market), it would have had different scripting, different pacing and would probably be a worthy addition to the WB catalog instead of the footnote it is today.
Thanks, again! ^.^

This short was done in 63. Termite Terrace was about to close, and Chuck and the boys were about to migrate over to MGM, where they spent the 60s running the Tom & Jerry franchise and producing all those esoteric and parable toons that 60s MGM became known for. Look at the credits again. it's fuckin' Bill Lava doing the music for crying out loud.
My personal fave treatment in Hare-Breadth Hurry is the sound design behind the over-the-top montage of Bugs in super-speed: the heavy-equipment slams with the highway turns flying off the ground, and of-course the classic run down the piano keyboard as the telephone poles pile up.
Trivia: Chuck Jones developed the Coyote/Roadrunner format as a criticism of mindless chase-type cartoons like Tom & Jerry and even WB's own Tweety & Sylvester. Chuck was rather cerebrial and high-literature for a toon director, and the all-gag/no-plot format of the chase cartoons rather insulted his intelligence. But this toon broke the 4th Wall and also ran with that whole "We're toons and we all work for Old J.L., so it's all good!" angle. Bob Clampett teased us with this in Daffy's classic The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, where Porky dons a fake moustache to appear briefly in the short as the streetcar pilot. Can you say "walk-on appearance"?

Well, here her tail doesn't look quite as useless and spriggy as earlier. Tails in some species serve no purpose.(elephants, hamsters....)

Wile would never consider her tail "useless." ^!^

I recall one where Bugs, standing in for RoadRunner, was taking speed pills to match RR's Flash-like speed.

That occurs in Hare-Breadth Hurry, described above in this string. ^.^

She should've taken your advice:
Dos Coyotes; Zoom and Drawing Board, pt. 2 by mreiof

But you already knew that. Woof! (The sound of a girl coyote's fanny catching fire. But good!)
