Odor of the Day is a 1948 Looney Tunes short starring Pepé Le Pew, here unnamed.
Plot
On a cold winter day, a dog that is looking for a place to stay, sneaks into a cabin with a fire, and a cozy bed. However, he does have one rival for the bed, a skunk (Pepé Le Pew). The two battle by spraying each other with scents, Pepé who has his foul odor, and the dog who has his perfume. The two dive into a frozen lake, in an attempt to remove the smells, and they catch colds in the process. Now unable to smell each other's scents, the two decide to share the bed together.
Notes
- The dog resembles Wellington from "Doggone Cats".
- This cartoon is the first Pepé Le Pew cartoon not directed by Chuck Jones (or, in the case of "Really Scent," a member of Chuck Jones' animation unit) and the only one to depict Pepé Le Pew as a screwball comic character instead of the usual lovesick character.
- This is the first time Pepé uses his bad odor as a weapon. The second time is in "Touché and Go" where Pepé uses his bad odor to scare away a shark (though, in the case of "Touche and Go," that was accidental).
- Wellington sneezed eleven times while Pepé sneezed twice.
- Pepé and Wellington have no lines of dialogue in this cartoon, save for only one line at the end of the cartoon "Gesundheit!". In addition, Pepé's speaking voice here lacks the familiar French accent.
