Skunked

 

 Pepe Le Pew, a Warner Brothers cartoon skunk not seen since the last century, must walk the plank.

 

Charles Blow--the New York Times columnist who gave us the Dr. Seuss Scandal--sez the skunk's pursuit of romance advanced "rape culture." 

He tweets:

 

"Let’s see. 1. Pepe grabs/kisses a girl/stranger, repeatedly, w/o consent and against her will. 2. She struggles mightily to get away from him, but he won’t release her 3. He locks a door to prevent her from escaping.” 

 

Matt Lauer, Andrew Cuomo please copy.

Penelope Pussycat was Pepe's unrequited love. She was neither a girl nor a stranger.

She was a cat.

He thought she was a skunk.

 

They were a skunk and a cat.

A mismatch for a mate.

 

That was the joke. 

Let the Cartoon Inquisition begin...

 

Mighty Mouse made other mice feel inferior.

Daffy Duck was a socially-challenged fowl.

Donald Duck's butt exhibitionism was clinical.

Porky Pig's stutter brought cruel imitation.

 

And Goofy? Disney called him ... Goofy?

 

Today, we learn Warner Brothers no longer lets Elmer Fudd carry a rifle.

He's just a fat little guy who hates rabbits.

Bugs Bunny sleeps at last.

The chase is over.

 

Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner 

may be lovers. Ditto Tom and Jerry.

 

I'm just sayin'... 

Have you seen that much passive-aggressive hate outside a marriage?

 

Did The Little Engine That Could (I think I can, I think I can) have ADD?

 

Mr. Blow has so much more work to do.
