The INTRICATE expressions. The way his face goes from confident, to regretful, to melancholic. The way her face goes tender, to awestruck, to there being a flash of confusion and even understanding. Before he gives her a bitter sweet smile, and hes gone.

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.

Happy 80th Birthday to Pepe Le Pew

The world famous French skunk Pepe Le Pew now hits the big eight zero!

Created by director Chuck Jones and writer Mike Maltese, Pepe was inspired and based on famous womanizers of the 1930s and '40s, such as Clark Gable and Charles Boyer (with Pepe's name directly taken from Boyer's Pepe Le Monko (1937)), Pepe became an exaggeration of this characteristic.

Like many LT characters, Pepe started in as a prototype character named "Stinky" in Odor-able Kitty (1945), faking his French accent and revealed by the end that he is married and has kids.

Afterwards a couple more experimental shorts, such as Scent-imental Over (1947) and Odor of the Day (1948) (the only Pepe short directed by Arthur Davis), he would develop into the character that we know today. His most iconic for being oblivious to the fact that his odor is turns the "skunks" off. His relentless optimism, overtly romantic advances and overconfidence is part of what makes his character humorous and charming.

An interesting story to note is that while Jones adored the character and would continue his series well-after Mike Maltese left in 1953 during Warner Bros. Cartoons studio's brief shut down during the rise of the then-new and revolutionary 3-D in film, Maltese stated that wasn't too crazy about Pepe, according to Mark Evanier (animation historian and head writer of Garfield & Friends).

With the change in attitudes as times went on, the character has slowly garnered controversy in later years for being perceived as "problematic" and perpetuating assault. Interestingly, even as early as the 1990s, in Tiny Toon Adventures, this became one of the main reasons why Pepe's was a female counterpart, Fifi La Fume, is indeed a female, and why Pepe doesn't chase after Penelope that much in later Looney Tune productions or why Pepe is rarely seen in much merchandise. Though, despite this, Pepe still has his legion of fans to support him to this day, which resulted in his comeback after WB's brief decision to discontinue the character.
