Something Smells

Just after Christmas, Warner Home Video will be releasing a DVD full of Pepe Le Pew cartoons. Great! I hope they don't forget to include the one where a female cat gets a white stripe down her back, then Pepe chases her around thinking she's a lady skunk.

Seriously, isn't this like a whole DVD of the same cartoon over and over? It wasn't a terrible thing that Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese used the identical plot every time back when they made one or two of these a year and audiences saw them many moons apart. But they weren't made to be seen one right after the other. I can't think of a way to make people bored with Pepe Le Pew cartoons better than to package all of them together like this.

By the way, you may not be able to make it out in the illo above but the packaging says the DVD contains 15 Cartoon Classics. The contents list has 17 cartoons on it. Is this someone's bad math or is it their way of telling us that two of them aren't very good?
