For anybody not familiar, he was a Loony Tune. His gimmick was he would fall helplessly in love with any black cat who happened to get white paint on her (or possibly his, not here to judge) back.
Pepé was very…self-imposing. To put it mildly. He would not last long in a “No means no” world. He’s like a 1930s cartoon version of Stiffler. With all the social wrongs of both eras.

I feel like Fifi from Tiny Tunes was supposed to be a more PC Pepe, but they had absolutely no ideas to make her more of a thing. Did she even have a gimmick? I just remember her name and that she was purple.

Oh I knew that, I’ve seen it before getting to the age of 43 kiddo :) I just never saw the French attitude because I was French (still is), hence the “merde”. My name isn’t from that cartoon (Pépé le putois) but from a certain plant… I was a teenager when I choose it. Now that I’m an irresponsible adult I tell people that it’s Skunk the animal and I use cute skunks as profile pictures. But that’s a lie, let it be our little secret 🤫
