Little 'Tinker is a 1948 cartoon short by Tex Avery. One fine morning, B.O. Skunk gets up, showers, douses himself with perfume, and goes walking through the woods in search of a mate. From a distance, he seems to have quite a bit of sex appeal, but anytime he approaches a girl up close, his smell drives her away in revulsion. Then Cupid appears and gives B.O. a self-help book entitled Advice to the Love-Worn by Beatrice Bare Fax. B.O. tries out the tips inside it with some effect, but one by one, they ultimately fail to produce the desired effect. Doing a Frank Sinatra impression is particularly successful and drives an enormous flock of rabbit fangirls crazy, but attraction invariably turns to repulsion when they sense his odor. Is the poor little skunk doomed to stay single and repulsive forever?

Ass in a Lion Skin: Near the end when B.O. Skunk tries to woo a female by painting his fur like a fox. The girl fox he meets turns out, after they fall into a creek and their paint washes off, actually to be another skunk in disguise. Cue them kissing.

Balcony Wooing Scene: One of the things that B.O. tries is to woo a raccoon standing on her balcony up on a tree by serenading her in a Romeo costume.

Cupid's Arrow: Played with. Cupid appears and attempts to help B.O. find a mate, not with a literal arrow, but by giving him a self-help book. Initially, this book is of little use, for most of it fails to address the main problem – B.O.'s terrible smell. Finally, Cupid points out the advice in the book to camouflage yourself. B.O. paints himself to look like a fox and meets a lady skunk who has also painted herself to look like a fox. Having finally found a mate with mutual compatibility, the cartoon closes with B.O. throwing away the book.
