In honor of the Eiffel Tower being opened to the public on this day in 1889, on this Cartoon Saturday we urge you to turn your eyes, if not your nose, to Pepé Le Pew. The French scoundrel and skunk of true passion appeared in dozens of animated shorts and Looney Tunes cartoon shows and films, even earning an Academy Award for 1949's For Scent-imental Reasons.



This vase has a well sculpted likeness of Pepé doing what he does best, scaring his beloved Penelope with his affection.
