Gotta love any MOC that includes a falling anvil. Nice work.
My only nitpick is that it might look better to use something other than the
black string to have the anvil “falling”. It almost looks like the coyote tried
to drop the anvil on Joe Vig, but was foiled by the anvil’s string catching on a
rock. (While that interpretation fits with the
coyote’s-plans-always-being-foiled theme of the Road Runner cartoons, it keeps
Joe Vig out of harm’s way, and we can’t have that now, can we?)

You have a very good point there, not really sure why I went with the string.
Maybe I should have just mounted it from the side, so when viewing it from the
front you can’t see how it’s attached.

I gotta agree with the good Rev. here ... there's something inherently funny
about a falling anvil and Janey that is a beautiful little anvil. I liked
this vig a lot.

Thank you very much Brian.
It was a fun little MOC, and I must say, I am pretty fond of anvils myself.
(Other hobbies of mine include perennial gardening and occupational folklore.
So naturally the two mix and my garden is adorned with a few utilitarian type
items, such as huge old pulleys, train spikes and plates, etc. to pay homage to
those traditions. By far, my favourite piece of yard "art" is the anvil acquired
from the family Blacksmith shop, a lifetime and a half ago. - Luckily, the anvil
has yet to fall on a guest or a fig, wink!)
