Description
The movie WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? was adapted from the original book WHO CENSORED ROGER RABBIT? by Gary K. Wolf.There are lots of interesting changes you can retroactively see if you read it. The fact that Roger is a famous Comic Strip character instead of a Film star!!
The descriptions of the characters aren't 100% complete, but there are enough details to form an image. This is my interpretation of the Roger, Eddie Valiant and Jessica Rabbit, based on those descriptions.
For fun, enjoy.

Great stuff! Roger looks exactly how the book describes him.
Personally, I like the book better than the movie. While the movie has great side characters, like Doom and the weasels, the book had a much better protagonist. Eddie Valiant felt so real - a hard-ass, a bigot, and a liquor-slugging, hard-punching, straight-question asking ex-marine who captivated me each time he made a hammy observation or matched wits with the police (human or otherwise.)
Edit: Also, the movie really missed out on Dominic and Rocco DeGreasy. They could've been really interesting to see portrayed on the big screen.

Nice to hear from someone else who has read the book. I would love to see a movie of the actual book, though that will likely never happen. An illustrated version (trade) would be fascinating though.

Well, there are a few sketches of the characters - and even a few animation tests - from Disney as they began work on their first production of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," which was a lot closer to the book, it seems. There's even a voice-sample from Paul Rueben, who would have played Roger.

Agreed. Ego is to blame.

I prefer the movie. Roger is more likeable. Plus, you don't get the piano battle between Donald and Daffy.

A grand case of the movie being better than the book.

The Mask, Jurassic Park, Shawshank Redemption, the list is surprisingly long.

I dig it! Thanks! I had read the book so I knew all of that, but it was well put together!

Did it do a good job in comparing them?

It did an excellent job! Made me want to watch some of the others!

I especially loved it's recreation of Roger's murder scene from the book, did you?

I did! So many intriguing scenes!

As far as I could tell. Well, humanoid toon is a better description I guess.

I have always wanted to read that but it's kinda hard to get a hold of. Are the weasels in it? Wait, lemme check to see if you've answered that... * time lapse * ...okay, you didn't, so, are the weasels in the book?

I don't think they are, if I remember correctly, Judge Doom and the weasels were film only. I should re-read it myself, it was a quick devour.
I think it was 99 cents on kindle?

I'd have to do some soul-selling... or thought rearranging to give myself over to the KINDLE SIDE!

There are no weasels or Judge Doom. Or, sadly, Benny the Cab. I think Jessica and Baby Herman are the only toons other than Roger who came from the book.

Reminds me of my old artwork for the book

Awwwh, thanks, Lordwormm. I still love your comics for the DA Universe. A friend of mine from college is actually apart of it as well. His character's name is Larry if that rings any bells.

Gonna take a shot of toonshine in honor of this picture. This book seriously doesn't get enough attention, but it's a great mystery...although the ending is kind of...odd.

Agreed, interestingly enough there is another Roger Rabbit book coming out.

Yeah! I heard about that!
It's actually kind of interesting. In fact, in the book Roger ends up getting killed and suddenly Eddie has to uncover the murder plot.

Yeah, there are some crazy differences. I was trying to visualize what a more faithful flick would have been like.
I also discovered some scenes left out of the final shooting. Including Acme's funeral. Foghorn was preaching, the toons were crying including Superman, Mighty Mouse, Popeye, Tom & Jerry. Then the big HARVEYtoons Jester pops out of the casket and they all bust up laughing and leave.

There's another scene where the Weasels capture Eddie and tortue him by attaching a cartoon pig head to his head.

I saw that, it was bizarre and I dug it.
