Pepé Le Pew

Pepé Le Pew is a character in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series. An anthropomorphic French skunk, Pepé is in search of romance, but his scent, self-delusion, and his overly persistent manner inhibit his efforts.
==Bio==
Pepé Le Pew cartoons typically feature the amorous skunk pursuing what he believes is a "female skunk." Usually, however, the supposed female "skunk" is actually a black cat who runs away from Pepé because of either his putrid odor, overly assertive manner, or both, but the skunk won't take "no" for an answer, and hops after her at a leisurely pace.
==Trivia==
* In 2020, Linda Jones-Clough, daughter of Pepé's creator Chuck Jones, was unhappy about this claim that the Pepé Le Pew character glamorized rape culture. She defended against those claims, claiming that Pepé did not rape any female character in the show, nor did he inspire rape and sexual harassment cases in real life. In fact, when Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese created Pepé Le Pew back in the 1940s, it wasn't intended to glorify bad behavior or to cause outrage, but to poke fun as screenwriter Tedd Pierce's "ladies' man" status and his then-lack of success with romancing women at the time.
** Despite this, Pepé made a cameo in the Animaniacs segment "Yakko Amakko" which debunks the reports of him being removed from future Warner Bros. projects and his name was shown on a tombstone in the Looney Tunes Cartoons episode "Graveyard Goofs".
