pepe le pew
I’m thinking the other 2 were in Hanna/Barbera cartoons from the 50s/60s.
Wrong!
Marvin the Martian was a Warner Bros. cartoon character- like Pepe Le Pew, and Bugs Bunny, et al.
The Martian (played by Ray Walston) in the live action sitcom "My Favorite Martian" went by the moniker "Uncle Martin" (when Bill Bixby introduced him to Bixby's fellow earthlings).
How could you confuse the two?

While I do admit that I feel bad for him that he has bad body odor (because he's a skunk) and couldn't get the girl he wants, what I REALLY don't like about him was that he is just WAY too clingy and wouldn't take no for an answer, so the female cat (who looked like a skunk) had a VERY justifiable reason to avoid him! What Pepe Le Pew does to her, well, that's what we call "sexual harassment"!
I am over 60, but still sometimes watch the old cartoons of my childhood. Pepe Le Pew and many others were voiced by the talented Mel Blanc. He also provided many voices for many of those old radio shows from the golden age of radio, and even had his own radio comedy show for a while, on which he voiced several of the characters. There are a few radio stations that play these old radio shows late at night. Due to health issues I have an irregular sleep/wake cycle, so I am often up at any hour of the day or night, and naturally, I would sometimes listen to the radio at night, which is how I first discovered that these old radio shows were still available over air. I eventually bought a number of old radio show cassettes, too, so I could listen at any time I wanted. There was a kind of mystery radio show that played a little after dinner time in the 70s. My mother and I used to listen to it while doing the dishes. Yes, we had a dishwasher, but our first dishwasher turned out to be a lemon, so we still had to wash the dishes by hand a lot, even after we got the dishwasher. We had a poodle who was a snob--she was always suspicious of service people, and gave them a hard time. On one occasion, the guy who came to repair the dishwasher told her that she should know him by now, as he'd been there a few times before. There was only one service person our poodle liked. For some reason my mother sometimes chose to have things like chips and pretzels delivered by the Charly's Chips Company, even tho I'm sure it's cheaper to buy them in the stores. Because he was bringing food, including a dog biscuit, our poodle decided he was a welcome guest, not a service person.
AAAHHH!! ! I've done it again. I've digressed from the main topic. Yes, I liked the old cartoons, still do now, and still sometimes watch them.
As for my digressions, I'm an introvert, and live alone. For conversation I sometimes make voice memos, and sometimes type my thoughts and daily trivia into a journal. After a day or two I delete the voice memos, and after a few months I delete the entries in the trivia journal. For companionship, I mostly play podcasts of my favorite talk shows, and have my phone assistant play my news playlist. Because of this I do sometimes tend to get carried away when communicating with real people, whether in talking or writing.
