Two Scent's Worth

I mean, really, I did. How could I be so naive (correction: deluded) into thinking the Looney Tunes on Cartoon Network was NOT the same Looney Tunes cartoons I saw when I was but a wee child, because it was!!! Remember how I said that "A Scent Of The Matterhorn" was proof positive that Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese (especially Michael Maltese, God rest his soul) did everything and anything in their own way into making the Pepe Le Pew cartoons...oh, what's the word for it...adult? Well, THAT was proof negative (if there is such a thing). THIS is proof positive.

If you think I have too much time on my hands to write this, well, I do...BUT, let me ask you this...what cartoon in this day and age includes this line, and I quote, "Guess who? It is me! Oh, pardonnez-moi. Permit me to introduce to you myself. I am Pepe Le Pew--your lovair!" followed by Pepe kissing her arm to seemingly no end, shamelessly jumping into the arms of the traumatized Penelope, and convincing her that she tried to whisk him away?

None, that's what. And the shows that DO have lines that are considered risque for virgin ears are usually cancelled within two seasons (i.e., "Toonsylvania", "Mad Jack The Pirate").

For the most part, "Two Scents Worth" is the same as any other Pepe Le Pew cartoon, but aside from the unique setting - the French Alps instead of gay Paree - just see what happens at the end. So some people will say that Pepe's insatiable horniness is inappropriate for children. News flash for such people: THESE CARTOONS WEREN'T ORIGINALLY PRODUCED FOR THE KIDDIES. They were shown immediately preceding feature films back in the days when theaters preceded features with cartoons.

So, it's a pretty funny short. I get the feeling that if Chuck Jones could have turned these cartoons into adult-oriented feature films, he probably would have developed Pepe's sex drive a lot further. Worth seeing.

As for the Alps themselves, many reports say that global warming could obliterate them.
