Chuck Jones's cartoon art - the Smithsonian's icon?

The NY Times has a story today about a Smithsonian Summer Showdown in which you can vote for a favorite iconic piece. SITES (the travelling exhibit branch) has offered up: Wile E. Coyote from "What's Up, Doc? The Animation Art of Chuck Jones", Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES). "Ready...Set... Zoom!" Original layout drawing, 1955. Chuck Jones Center for Creativity. From "What's Up, Doc? The Animation Art of Chuck Jones," a new Smithsonian traveling exhibit now at Museum of the Moving Image in NYC.

Personally, I think that's iffy since it's not in the Smithsonian, but it's Chuck Jones so I voted for it.
