I would be remiss if I did not remind you that January 6th is the birthday of Pepe Le Pew, by my estimation his 81st as the character was introduced in 1945 in the cartoon, Odor-able Kitty. My question is what to buy Pepe for the occasion…an industrial-strength can of Glade room freshener, perhaps?
While Pepe now languishes in what I’ve heard referred to as Horny Prison due to unwanted romantic advances towards one Penelope Pussycat, I curse cancel culture and the fact that Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam are allowed to freely brandish and discharge guns while Pepe is not allowed to pursue his natural instincts, even if they are unwelcomed and misguided…
His birthday is an appropriate time to remember our romantically self-deceived skunk, and appeal for the reformation and re-appearance of his character in some form. I know that males foistering their unwanted romantic intentions on another is wrong, and that times have changed enormously since 1945…but surely a reconstituted version of the character is possible, and that fans would welcome his return in some form…
Although it’s entirely possible that in light of his age, Pepe may have entirely lost interest in the Game of Love to begin with…
So celebrate and remember Pepe Le Pew on his natal day, N’est-ce pas?
