Are Pepe Le Pew catoons still aired on TV given he's a sexual predator & borderline rapist?

Betty was in the first Popeye cartoon. She was a hula dancer in a carnival and you could quite clearly tell that she wasn’t wearing anything under the lei around her neck.

@dougie_monty

I sure could! Did you see Popeye cover his eyes when he was onstage? :eek:

And what exactly is he smoking? See how it affects the snake.

I was on my phone. It gave me the mobile link. I don’t know how it affects desktop browsers.

Porky Pig did not stutter! That’s Gabby Goat. Porky stammered. There’s a difference.

No there isn’t.

It is quite natural to assume that the concepts of stammering and stuttering involve a set of defining qualities that set them apart. That is not the case though. Stammering and stuttering mean the absolute same thing. In fact, they are used interchangeably in different countries merely to bring about a variation in vocabulary. Much like the words elevator (US) and lift (UK).

There’s a very distinct difference.

Some authorities maintain ‘stutter’ and ‘stammer’ are two words for the same thing, but I subscribe to the following definitions: a stutter is where the first syllable of the word is repeated over and over like a machine gun, without the second ever being reached. A stammer, in contrast, is where not even the first syllable can be articulated: there’s just an ever-widening hole in the sentence.

Given the same line, Gabby would say “Oh b-b-b-boy!” Whereas Porky would say “Uhba dee Uhba da Uhba dee ubbada Oh boy!” Not even close to no difference.

Pepe Le Pew Not Slated for Future Warner Bros. Television Projects

C’est la Julio et Romiette

Pepe Le Pew is a send up of lascivious frogs like Jon Sablon and Maurice Chevalier. Pepe illustrates examples of bad behavior. He’s a SKUNK!

Compare Pepe to the much praised movie GIGI. Chevalier et al spend the movie GIGI drooling over speculation of who will take the virginity of Leslie Carron. Ennobling pedophilia with “Thank Heaven For Little Girls”.

Pepe Le Pew is great satire, Gigi is money grubbing sleaze.
Viva Le Skunk!

It’s not evident from the headline and lead that Darren_Garrison links to, but Pepe was scrubbed from the Space Jam sequel. A scene with him was animated, but it got cut.

The Space Jam sequel removed a Pepe Le Pew scene about consent
