Pepe Le Pew
When the illustrious J. Geils Band released their 1980 hit song/album Love Stinks, I am guessing they weren't thinking about Looney Tunes' Pepe Le Pew. But that won't prevent Pepe Le Pew from “reeking” his never-ending efforts to find true love on Boomerang's Love Stinks Valentine's Day 24hr marathon of Pepe Le Pew, beginning Sunday, February 14, 6a. The network will air all 17 Pepe Le Pew animated shorts in chronological order. The shorts will repeat throughout the day. Before he was Pepe Le Pew, he was named Stinky in the 1945 animated short The Odor-Able Kitty. Two years later Pepe Le Pew took on the look we know today in the animated short Scent-Imental Over You (1947), which was seen in movie theatres, when Warner Bros. the Michael Maltese created and refined the French skunk into a Looney Tunes superstar. The forlorn yet persistent skunk starred in For Scent-Imental Reasons (1950) directed by legendary animator Chuck Jones, for which Jones won an Oscar for Director, Best Animated Cartoon.
