Puppy Le Pew

It looks like we're starting to see the earliest victims of WB's vow not to license the Looney Tunes characters on unhealthy snacks anymore (as part of their deal with Safeway's "Eating Right Kids" campaign). First, there were no signs of any new Looney-themed Russell-Stover treats for 2008's Christmas season. Now here's the 2009 edition of Adam & Brooks, Inc.'s Valentine's Day "Luv Pops". For the past couple of years, these heart-shaped lollipops came in packaging featuring Pepe Le Pew & Penelope. I had to do a double take when I saw this year's version on the shelf...



Doesn't that pup look more than a little like a certain skunk at first glance? (Compare to Pepe packaging here).
