HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOLIE À DEUX !!!

[termiteterraceclub]

Happy 80th birthday to the most famous romantic French skunk in all of cartoons, Pepé Le Pew. As part of the major marquee #LooneyTunes characters, Pepé is considered unique. Constantly chasing for love, Pepé is defined by his affectionate yet oblivious personality.

Chuck Jones originally created Pepé back in 1944. He based him off of European actor Charles Boyer from his performance in “Algiers” (1938) (that's part of his joke), his own colleague Tedd Pierce, and loosely off of himself except Pepé has the romantic confidence Chuck lacked as a young boy.

He evolved from his early appearances... “Odor-able Kitty" (named Henry and his accent is fake), “Scent-imental Over You” (named Stinky), “Odor of the Day” (Arthur Davis' only use in a slapstick role), into a fully fledged Oscar winning cartoon set to the sights and sounds of Paris and Europe.

“For Scent-imental Reasons”, Pepé Le Pew’s Oscar winning cartoon, fully establishes the formula of his classic shorts. With the help of Michael Maltese, Pepé mistakes a female tuxedo cat, canonically named Penelope, for a skunk due because of a white stripe. to make Pepé Le Pew come to life.

Mel Blanc's mimicked Charles Boyer’s love-making voice. And there are also some bits of Maurice Chevalier. Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese crafted his exaggerated routine and charm as satire on Hollywood romance movies and the romantic Frenchman for comedic effect. It's his odor that is the problem.

His pursuits often fail but he shows persistence. Pepé’s amusing dialogue spoofing of Boyer, the phony French-English sight gags, and Pepé’s hopping on all fours. There are a few times the formula is flipped when Pepé's smell is neutralized and Penelope romantically pursues him back.

Abe Levitow’s short "Really Scent" subverts the formula. Penelope, Fabrette, is born with a skunk stripe, both of them fall in love except Pepé’s stench drives her away. He finds out what pew means and it breaks his heart. Both make the effort to change and the opposite happens.

Pepé has made 17 classic appearances (including a cameo in a Sylvester & Tweety cartoon) and “Louvre Come Back to Me!” was his last released in 1962.

Since the 1970s, Pepé Le Pew has usually been referenced in cameos, commercials and merchandise (including material that reimagines Pepé and Penelope's relationship to a mutual romance). It's also rare when he gets a starring role once in a while.

To fit with modern times, writers at Warner Bros. aimed to make his French charm more of a focal point with appearances in Baby Looney Tunes (who loves gardening), The Looney Tunes Show (as a wedding planner), Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run (perfume mogul), and New Looney Tunes (as a suave spy).

Tom Ruegger and the writing team of Tiny Toon Adventures created Fifi La Fume as a way to minor changes while being a variation of Pepé Le Pew. If it weren't for Pepé, we wouldn't have Fifi.

The character had been snubbed from recent projects out of caution including Space Jam: A New Legacy and Tiny Toons Looniversity due to changing sensibilities and trends. There was even a feature-length film putting Pepé Le Pew in a rom-com heist that was also scrapped.

This does not mean WB is retiring Pepé altogether. He is misunderstood as he is considered a time capsule of Hollywood during the 1940s and 1950s. There is hope that he'll be used again with the right people and new concepts in the future. As long as fans love him, Pepé lives on. Vive l’amour!

(After the Warner Bros. Discovery merger, they appear to be loosening things up. Pepé's recent appearances in Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem as Gendarme Pepé and in Joker: Folie á Deux for example show that WB hasn't washed their hands off from him. Give or take a few years until they settle on a new concept.)

In conclusion, happy 80th birthday to Pepé Le Pew. And to the voice actors that got to voice him, thank you for making Mel Blanc proud. And to those who watch reruns of his shorts, buy his merch, read his comics, and sharing your love of him through fanart... Merci. Pepé will be honored and evolve!

I'm a day late but shhhh its the thought that counts- Happy 15th birthday to the one and only Folie A Deux :D I could be here for Hours talking abt how much this album means to me but I will Not subject yall to that and instead shall leave it here.

Also! A large portion of the background elements are from the interior art from the CD case; I wanted to include it because the CD art is also extremely important to me and the piece didn't feel complete without That Specifically in there lol. The original artist is Ron Kurniawan, and u can find the original pictures in his portfolio here!
