Pepé Le Pew is an Academy Award-winning fictional character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. A French anthropomorphic skunk that always strolls around in Paris in the springtime, when everyone's thoughts are of love, Pepé is constantly seeking "l'amour" of his own. However, he has two huge turnoffs to any prospective mates: his malodorous scent and the fact that he comes on too aggressively or with too much passion, both of which he is cheerfully oblivious of.

Normally, Pepé's romantic interests do include female skunks ("petite femme skunk"), but each episode invariably revolves around Pepé pursuing a "skunk", who, unbeknownst to him, is usually a hapless black cat (retroactively named Penelope Pussycat) who inadvertently has a white stripe painted down her back (sometimes on purpose, sometimes accidental). While Penelope sometimes reciprocates his amorous feelings, she runs away from him anyway due to his putrid odor. (Although real skunks exhibit a mild musty scent, they do not smell offensively until they deliberately release the odor, usually in self-protection. Pepé himself has no reason to have done this.)

Pepé Le Pew's foul odor and intrusive, aggressive attempts at seduction are both traits that many Americans associate to a degree with stereotypical French men[citation needed], which adds to his resonance. It is also revealed that his white stripes can be erased by paint - a gag probably based on the instinctive reaction people have on seeing a black and white striped animal.
