Interesting Facts about Pepe Le Pew

Pepe Le Pew first appeared in the “Looney Tunes” episode “Odor-Able Kitty” in 1945, though the formula for his shorts wasn’t set until 1949. Pepe is a French skunk who is a hopeless romantic and is usually seen trying to woo a black cat named Penelope, never taking “no” for an answer. The episodes that Pepe appears in are not the usual slapstick featured in Looney Tunes, but more of a romantic comedy.

Pepe’s episodes follow a formula that is very easy to predict: The black cat, Penelope, accidentally gets a white stripe painted on her back. When Pepe sees her, he instantly falls in love and tries to make her fall in love with him. However, as a skunk, he smells horrible and she wants nothing to do with him.
