Pepe Lepew is a Loony Toons cartoon character. He is a French skunk. Sort of. In Pepe Lepew cartoons, "french" is spoken by adding "le" to English words. In every cartoon, a hapless black cat somehow gets a white stripe of paint on her back, and Pepe falls in love with her, thinking she is a "petite femme skunk". She does not, however, reciprocate his amorous feelings, especially since his smell is rather offensive to all of God's creation.
I can understand why he isn't famous in France...
What, you don't think the French would appreciate the fine American humor of stereotyping the French as sexual predators with poor bathing habits? I'm sure there must be some equally offensive English-speaking cartoon character popular over there.

Okayyyyyy
interesting article; the end also is.
Since some (humhum) proposed my language to be represented by the guy, I think it would be appropriate if we were able to recognise the man. Would any of you be kind enough to add a nice pict in the en.article ? (kq, the link didnot work :-()

This is hardly stereotype. We play together differently than american do. We like human smell more than soap smell. And we make big money at selling american people our expensive perfumes.

I can't think of any. Our most willing partners are from England, Belgium and Switzerland. But, we thank you for renewed humor pictures since you elected Bush. Between Bush and LePen, our humourists had it easy this year.

Then Pepe, who views himself as a fine french parfumier, is only fulfilling his national destiny.

Funny that the names Le Pew and Le Pen are so similar; it makes it hard to tell which is the skunk.
