For the romantic weekend that it is - we're celebrating the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoon romance of Pepe Le Pew and Penelope Pussycat.

Created by Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese - Peppy's chase for l'amour is endless. Mistaking a black cat with a stripe on her back, Penelope, for a skunk the charismatic and relentless Peppy persues her. What happens next has been written into the pantheon of classic cartoons.

Most famously - in a role-reversal - the 1949 short For Scent-imental Reasons won an Academy Award. The short ends with an accidentally painted (and now terrified) Pepé being aggressively pursued by a madly smitten Penelope (who has been dunked in dirty water, leaving her with a ratty appearance and a developing head cold, completely clogging up her nose). Penelope locks him up inside a perfume shop, hiding the key down her chest, and proceeds to turn the tables on the now imprisoned and effectively odorless Pepé.
