Roger Rabbit

Roger Rabbit is a fictional cartoon rabbit. The character first appeared in the book Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf, which was loosely adapted into the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit; both stories center around a world in which animated films are produced by filming actual living cartoon characters, or "toons," who coexist with the human world in 1940s Los Angeles. In the film, the voice of Roger was performed by comedian Charles Fleischer.
Roger also starred in a comic book series from April 1990 to September 1991 and a spin-off series called Roger Rabbit's Toontown, published June-October 1991, which featured Roger in the first story and supporting characters like Jessica Rabbit (Roger's voluptuous human toon wife), Baby Herman (his irascible co-star in Maroon Cartoons), Benny the Cab (Roger's taxicab friend), and the weasels (Roger's enemies) from June to October 1991.
