Pepé Le Pew is a fictional character who appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons produced by Warner Bros. Created by Chuck Jones, he first appeared in 1945. Pepé is a French skunk with a distinctive black stripe running down his back and a strong French accent. He is known for being overly romantic and constantly pursuing love interests, often with comically disastrous results.

Pepé Le Pew's character is based on the stereotype of the amorous French lover. He is suave and debonair, but his relentless pursuit of romance is often misguided, as he tends to mistake various other animals, objects, or even painted stripes for potential mates. His unrequited love pursuits typically lead to humorous misunderstandings and slapstick situations.
