Pitstop by Penelope

A billboard advertised a perfume called Pitstop with Penelope referred to as the creator. Later, when Muttley broke Dick Dastardly out of jail, he had pictures of the Wacky Racers all over the wall that he had apparently drawn himself, which included Penelope in the Compact Pussycat.[2]

Development

Penelope Pitstop was the only female driver on Wacky Races. She drove car #5: the Compact Pussycat, which was essentially a beauty salon on wheels. Iwao Takamoto said in an interview that he and Jerry Eisenberg created her as an afterthought, as Joseph Barbera had suggested that a woman be included in the Wacky Races cast.

In popular culture

  • Penelope makes a cameo in the 2020 reboot of the Animaniacs episode called "Suffragette City".
  • She was also among the WB characters to appear in "Space Jam: A New Legacy" watching the basketball game. She watches while sitting in her Compact Pussycat.
