What do you think?

Personally, this is a relief as this character was maddening and aggravating to me even as a child. If they had a skip button back then, I would have skipped that cartoon. Next!!

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Pepé Le Pew is not featured in any current Warner Bros. TV projects and there are no current plans for the controversial cartoon skunk to return, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The news comes one day after it was reported Pepé Le Pew was scrubbed from the upcoming Space Jam 2. And while all that news falls days after a New York Times opinion piece in which the character was said to have “normalized rape culture,” the decision to both scrub him from the film and not have him return for TV projects was made more than a year ago. The Times’ piece ran in wake of Dr. Seuss Enterprises announcing it would stop publishing six books because of racist and insensitive imagery.

Pepé Le Pew was first introduced in 1945. A French skunk, the cartoon character was often on the quest for love, but his unwanted advances — usually toward a black cat that accidentally got a white-painted stripe — were often forceful.
