Which Looney Tunes character is a French skunk who pursues romance?

Pepé Le Pew is the Looney Tunes character portrayed as a French skunk pursuing romance.

He was introduced in the 1945 short Odor-able Kitty, created by director Chuck Jones and writer Michael Maltese. Pepé’s recurring story involves a black cat whose fur is accidentally marked with a white stripe; mistaking her for another skunk, he pursues her while she desperately tries to escape his smell.

Pepé’s dialogue is deliberately comic pseudo-French, or Franglais, rather than consistently correct French. His voice performance by Mel Blanc drew on actor Charles Boyer’s romantic-screen persona, helping shape the character’s theatrical, self-confident courtship style.

The stored spelling “Pepe Le Pew” identifies the same canonical character; the name is commonly stylized as “Pepé Le Pew,” with accents. A notable neighboring fact is that For Scent-imental Reasons, released in 1949, won the Academy Award for Best Cartoon Short Subject.
