The character I am working on us Pepe le Pew, he was created in 1945. When they first created him they first named him stinky since he was a skunk. Instead of naming him that they named him Pepe le Pew after a French film in 1937, the films name was Pepe le Moko.
Pepe le pew is based on a colleague of Chuck Jones (the creator) his name is Tedd Pierce. Supposedly they created pepe after him because Tedd Pierce is a ladies man. Chuck Jones also says that Pepe le Pew was based on him since he was really shy with ladies and Pepe le Pew isn't, he goes after them as long as they look like a skunk.
One of the main characters that usually comes out with Pepe is Penelope Pussycat. Penolepe is a cat that accidentally gets a line of paint through her back which makes her look like a skunk. She usually gets this line by going under a recently painted fence. As soon as Pepe sees her he falls in love with her. She usually runs away from him because he smells or because he treats her really bad.
The first show that Pepe le Pew came out in is Odor-able kitty. In this cartoon Pepe follows a male cat that dressed as a skunk and instead of being French he is American and named Henry. The second cartoon he came out in is scent-imental over you. In this cartoon he follows a female dog that got a skunk pelt, in the end she reveals herself to be a dog and he also reveals himself to be a dog but, he is a skunk.
The most recent appearances that he has come out in are Looney Tunes, Space Jam, and in a AT&T valentine's day commercial where Penelope comes out too. Pepe le Pew doesn't come out much in the most recent appearances but he still comes out.
