Chuck Jones originally created the cartoons featuring X as a parody of

traditional "cat and mouse" cartoons (such as Tom and Jerry) which

were increasingly popular at the time. The major difference is that theaudience's sympathy is drawn to X, a comically ineffectual predator

whose hunts always end in disaster.

There is almost never any "spoken" communication, but the characters

do sometimes communicate by holding up signs to each other, the

audience, or the cartoonist. X will wiggle his eyebrows at the audiencewhen feeling particularly pleased with himself (and therefore, usually,

just before a catastrophe). Another key element is that while X is the

aggressor in the series, he and his hopelessly futile efforts are the focus

of the audience's sympathy as well as virtually all of the humour.

its roots in Joseph Sheridan le Fanu's

novella Carmilla (1872) about the

predatory love of vampire Carmilla for

a young woman (the narrator):

Sometimes after an hour of apathy,

my strange and beautiful companion

would take my hand and hold it with a

fond pressure, renewed again and

again; blushing softly, gazing in my

face with languid and burning eyes,

and breathing so fast that her dress

rose and fell with the tumultuous

respiration. It was like the ardour of a

lover; it embarrassed me; it was

hateful and yet overpowering; andwith gloating eyes she drew me to

her, and her hot lips travelled along

my cheek in kisses; and she would

whisper, almost in sobs, 'You are

mine, you shall be mine, and you and

I are one for ever'. (Carmilla, Chapter4 .
