Pepe Le Pew
Pepé Le Pew is an animated character from the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons, introduced in 1945. Depicted as an anthropomorphic French striped skunk, Pepé is constantly in search of love and romance but typically his skunk odor causes other characters to run away from him. He usually pursues a cat who has accidentally had a white stripe painted on her back and tail.
Pepé Le Pew has been criticized for depicting harassment of unwilling female characters as comedy, with his behavior often interpreted as stalking or implied sexual assault. His exaggerated personality has also been seen as a parody of French men, reinforcing stereotypes of them as overly amorous and flirtatious.
