Four Headcanons About Jessica Rabbit

(Original post here.)

Headcanon A: Realistic

Jessica has a certain type of laugh that only Roger can cause. It's loud, it's long, and it sounds a bit like a witch's cackle. It doesn't fit her femme fatale persona at all.

Headcanon B: While It May Not Be Realistic, It Is Hilarious

Jessica has a little sister - sort of. Another animator attempted to copy Jessica's design and create his own version of her, but a mistake on the model sheet meant he ended up with a curvaceous redhead who was only six inches tall, not six feet tall. The animator cast her out, and Jessica took her under her wing.

The six-inch toon now goes by Joellyn Krupnick. She's smart, bookish and slightly shy, and she's determined to help make life better for other "fun-size" toons. She works as an architect and landlady, building and renting out apartments and houses that are suitable for smaller toons. (Two of her tenants went on to become the stars of a cartoon called Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.)

Jessica regards Joellyn as her (very) little sister, and the two women get along well.

Headcanon C: Heart-Crushing and Awful, But Fun to Inflict on Friends

Jessica's maiden name was Jessica Joy. She used to work at the Peacock Palace, a theatre located on the outskirts of Toontown and close to the tunnel to the "real world". She was one of many "Peacock Ladies": humanoid toon women who would put on shows for the (usually male human) audience. They wore revealing costumes in different shades of blue with plenty of peacock feathers.

Jessica's owners were two brothers called Rocco and Dominick DeGreasy. They did not treat their Peacock Ladies very well at all. The Ladies didn't just sing and dance; they had to be open to "private appointments" with customers who had paid extra for the privilege. Anything could happen in these appointments, and it was rarely fun for the Ladies. (In fact, the appointments were where Rocco and Dominick made the most money; the nightly shows were just a respectable face to keep the authorities off their backs.)

Jessica was drawn to be submissive and do whatever the humans told her to do. For a long time, she didn't feel strong enough to try to leave the Peacock Palace, convinced that this was her purpose, her reason for existing, and that she had no choice but to fulfill it.

It wasn't until after Roger burst into her life that Jessica slowly but surely built up the courage to change her situation.

As a side-effect of her bad experiences while wearing those blue costumes, Jessica now hates the colour blue. The only shade of blue she can tolerate is the one in Roger's eyes.

Headcanon D: Unrealistic, But I Will Disregard Canon About It Because I Reject Canon Reality and Substitute My Own

The 1970s were a dark decade for the Rabbits. In 1973, Eddie Valiant passed away. In 1978, Maroon Cartoons went out of business. Roger was deeply shaken by both events. He tried to keep the smile on his face, especially as he looked for work elsewhere, but in private he was much gloomier and less inclined to tell jokes.

Jessica wasn't doing too badly in comparison - she'd released some disco albums that kept her and her husband living comfortably - but she felt powerless to do anything about Roger's depressive state. He'd always been the one cheering her up, not the other way around. She tried to stay strong for his sake, but she couldn't deny that Eddie's death and the collapse of Maroon Cartoons made her feel uneasy too. She needed alone time to process everything - alone time that she wasn't getting while she was caring for Roger.

Then she started having dreams.

In Jessica's dream world, the characters had familiar names, but alien behaviours. Roger had darker fur and an even darker heart. Eddie was alive again, but stripped of his old personality. The DeGreasy brothers were back in the picture. And Jessica herself was just as shallow and cruel as everyone believed she was.

These dreams kept coming, night after night, becoming longer and more detailed each time. Jessica wondered if these dreams contained any clues to help her and Roger get out of their funk.

So she wrote the dreams down.

She wrote and rewrote, refining the scenes as more and more visions came to her. Eventually, her scribbles grew to the length of a novel.

And in 1981, she published that novel.

It was called Who Censored Roger Rabbit? and her pen name was Gary K. Wolf.

Some people at Disney took interest in the novel and wanted to turn it into a film. Jessica was glad to be involved, as it meant she and Roger could get back into acting.

But when Roger came onto the project, he had another idea for the direction the film could take. He remembered Eddie as a hero, and he wanted the whole world to remember him as a hero too. He wanted to tell Eddie's story. Jessica approved of this idea, because Roger's face was lighting up just talking about it.

She'd found it. She'd found the key to his happiness returning. In a roundabout way, yes, but she'd found it.

So the decision was made to create a historical film about how Eddie saved Toontown from being Dipped by Judge Doom. The film was called Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Roger and Jessica played themselves.

It was a hit at the box office, and it kicked off a revival of interest in the classic cartoons. The 1990s were a golden decade for Roger and Jessica, nothing at all like the dark days of the 1970s.

And it was all thanks to Jessica's deeply weird dreams.

I made a storyboard comic thing about the Pistol Possum from Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Explanation:

Theres a fan theory that the Possum is the secret identity of Judge Doom (which is canon to me, the comic backstory is meh)

During the making of the Roger Rabbit movie, the idea was thrown around about Judge Doom being the hunter who shot Bambis mom

I combind the two cause i like the idea that the Possum got a taste of killing toons and developd an obsession, which is why he came up with the Dip

Dont know how building a highway makes sense tho

EDIT: i forgot so say - they obvisouly cut this scene in the final Bambi film, wouldnt get past censors otherwise

But Possum is never on screen anyway, which is probably not clear enough in the panel scribbles

#Who Framed Roger Rabbit #My Comics #I thought the red eyes was clever okay #The whole comic is supposed to be clever in the way you dont know whats going on until it happens but yikes its a mess #Ah well #Howlings Aroundabout #Btw i should say i dont think Possum did cartoons with Roger and Herman #I like the idea that he did Maroon Cartoons with Bongo the Butler Gorilla and maybeee the weasels (but much later)#Judge Doom #Pistol Packin Possum

It’s Ramshackle the beach filler episode ^^!💕 I have heard about this idea once on the Ramshackle discord sever and I am somewhat curious on how @zeddyzi going to write a episode which is beach related for these lovely characters. (Treasure hunt maybe?) It’s my first time drawing any character shirtless or in a swimsuit so I hope I do good enough lol😄 Anyway, have a great day Zi✨!

Headcanons for Pistol Packin' Possum

(NOTE: These are working under the assumption that the Roger Rabbit graphic novel Resurrection of Doom is canon- and I don't see why not, since it's an official Disney publication that's yet to be contradicted- and that Pistol Packin' Possum is not in fact Judge Doom.)

-His guns fire wacky cartoon bullets that do a wide variety of things, similar to Hanna-Barbera's Ricochet Rabbit

-Judge Doom stole his gun to keep people off his trail

-After discovering that the gun was used to kill R.K. Maroon, he stops using that particular gun and starts using a new one

-In modern times, he becomes a proponent for gun control; because although he's a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment and a bit of gun nut, he abhors mass shootings and is especially sickened by ones that happen in schools and kill kids (toons always love kids)

I think in season two Izzy should slip on a banana peel and have a big lump on his forehead that's inexplicably gone in the next scene. Also he and Stede should get into a fistfight where they disappear into a cloud of dust and you just see their arms and legs sticking out randomly

#i realized ofmd is basically a cartoon and now i want them to lean into that even more #like just look at the island the crew gets marooned on. it's literally just the island from the spongebob title sequence #also most of them wear the same clothes every day #and ed's eyes literally pop out of his head and turn into hearts when he looks at stede #our flag means death #ofmd #izzy hands #stede bonnet #shitpost

@a-maroon-cartoon asked ; "we're two sides of the same coin. right?" for Figment !

“I don’t see why not! We’ve got loads in common! We’ve both got great senses of humor for one!”

And they were both experts at spreading imagination - most of the toons around the place were, and it never failed to raise Figments spirits. Anyone who helped do that was good in Figments book!

The Airship Race

November 2, 1907

The Chicago football airship dives just past the nose of the Minnesota one, on the path to the Western Championship; Minnesota football players tumble off, but are held by ropes.

The caption reads "As witnessed from Minneapolis today."

The two football teams were competing that day. Chicago would win the close game.

From Hennepin County Library
