In "Wacky Races", Penelope Pitstop drives the Compact Pussycat, a pink, stereotypically feminine car. Consistent with this theme, she has blonde hair tied into a ponytail and wears a bright pink racing uniform with white gloves, maroon tights, and white go-go boots. She is described by the race announcer as the "Glamour Gal of the Gas Pedal". As "Wacky Races" is inspired by "The Great Race", Penelope is inspired
Wacky Races (1968 TV series) Twosome, and Dick Dastardly and Muttley (working for a new villain named Mr. Viceroy, who sought to steal Perfect Industries). The series was not picked up by Cartoon Network for the reasons that the traditional humor the pilot had was not what the newer generation of kids wanted. In 2016, DC Comics launched a comic series called "Wacky Raceland". It is a dark and gritty re-imagining of the series set after the apocalypse in a similar vein to the "Mad Max" franchise. The comic ran for six issues from May to December 2016. A remake – also produced by Hanna-Barbera
