So, the second coyote image caused me to think the coyote was smoking a cigar (yeah, my imagination triggers on crazy stuff).

My second thought was the coyote needed a derby hat...

What? A derby hat?

I was a Ernie Kovacs fan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Kovacs when I was a kid... I cried the night they announced his death. There was often a Gorilla in a Derby hat and the gorilla had a cigar if I remember right (hey, I was pretty young back then). I also liked the Bat Masterson show.

Later on, I learned about Jack Woolam and his Gorilla suit complete with Derby Hat and cigar.

So there's this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Woolams#Personality and then the back story...

Thanks for the many wonderful memories this post spawned from a kid who still misses Ernie Kovacs!
