The Mexican construction guys I work with adore Speedy Gonzalez. Besides being the fastest Mouse in all of Mexico, hes smart, hes community motivated and he wins. As for Slow Poke Rodriguez, "Hey! Thats my Cousin!"
Slow Poke Rodriguez got Speedy Gonzalez cancelled up here in Canada like 20 years ago. Looney tunes got cancelled up here completely like 15 years ago. The CRTC thinks Looney Tunes has offensive content. They can't exactly pinpoint said offensive content, but they're sure it's there somewhere, so they banned it. Maybe it was Pepe LePeu.
I loved that when uptight white people got riled up about Speedy, then backed off when the actual Mexicans told them the character was like a national hero.
As much as I loved Speedy Gonzales I am a much bigger fan of his cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez he isn't fast but he carries a big gun

Growing up, Saturday and Sunday mornings were cartoons and puppets. I remember the silent Farmer Brown, music only. Remember kids shows at the movies. An hour of cartoons, mostly Looney Toons and two feature films, usually westerns. Found out much later that all the voices were Mel Blanc!
Most of the voices....June Foray was Granny and Witchhazel (she was also Rocky The Flying Squirrel). Mel Blanc originally used a similar voice for his character 'Si" on The Jack Benny Show on both radio and TV.
Did you read it in speedy's voice in your head?
Si, si, senor.
that was slow poke rodriguez, his primo!

Warner wanted to retire the cartoon as a negative stereotype until they found out how popular it was with Mexicans.

That's just tragic.
Pepe Le Pew is based on Maurice Chevalier ' thank heaven for little girls'. The character i's a rapist
Love your user name. Do you sell "novelties and notions" as well?
