Edward Stacey "Ted/Tedd" Pierce III (12 August 1906 - 19 February 1972) was an American writer, animator, voice actor, and artist. Pierce spent the majority of his career as a writer for the Warner Bros. "Termite Terrace" animation studio, working alongside fellow luminaries such as Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese. Pierce also worked as a writer at Fleischer Studios from 1939 to 1942. Jones credited Pierce in his 1989 autobiography Chuck Amuck: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist as being the inspiration for the character Pepé Le Pew, the haplessly romantic French skunk due to Pierce's self-proclamation that he was a ladies' man.
In early credits he was shown as "Ted Pierce." He was said to have added an extra "d" to his name as a way of "lampooning" puppeteer Bil Baird when he dropped one of the "L"s from his first name.
In his Warners career, Pierce worked with three of the three best-known Warner animation directors (Jones, McKimson and Friz Freleng).

Pierce also voiced the "tall, thin" character in "Wackiki Wabbit" (1943, which he wrote for Jones), and Chef Louis in "French Rarebit" (1951, which he wrote for McKimson). In addition, in a few cartoons containing Jones' Hubie and Bertie, Bertie's voice was Pierce.

Mar 10, 2024 · Tedd Pierce, one of the main writers for the classic Looney Tunes cartoons, also voice acted in a number of cartoons. He was always uncredited, but I always enjoyed whenever his voice is heard. Most notably he's Babbit, the parody of Bud Abbott, heard in A Tale of Two Kitties (I can post this because the cartoon's in the public domain):
