Acme playfully squirts ink on Valiant's shirt, which infuriates the Private Eye, until it is revealed that the ink is 'disappearing ink.' Shortly afterwards, the show starts, and Valiant is shocked to find that Jessica is not really a rabbit, but a shapely toon woman. Later that evening, Valiant goes to the Ink and Paint Club, where he encounters Toontown's owner and 'gag king, Marvin Acme (Stubby Kaye) in the audience. When Valiant claims he doesn't work in Toontown, Maroon tells him that Jessica performs at a club in Los Angeles called 'The Ink and Paint Club.' Valiant accepts the assignment for $100, of which Maroon pays $50 upfront, and the other half promised upon completion of the assignment. Maroon assigns Valiant to get pictures to confirm this rumor. Recent newspaper articles have circulated rumors that Jessica is seeing someone else. Maroon chalks Roger's acting mistakes up to him being worried about his wife, Jessica. Maroon is upset that one of the studio's biggest stars, Roger Rabbit, has already put the latest Baby Herman cartoon over-budget by $25,000. But she’s irresistible enough to both men and (male) toons to get away with it – and she knows it.Former toon Private Eye Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) is called to the Maroon Cartoon Studios lot at the request of its owner, R.K. She’s a regular femme fatale – mysterious, dangerous, and a whole lot to handle. She uses her feminine assets as a tool, keeps secrets until they absolutely must be revealed, and operates on a need-to-know basis. Still, winning the toon-hating Eddie’s trust might be almost as hard as busting this case wide open. Jessica lends her help to him on a number of occasions, filling him in on new bits of evidence and even saving his life. She works harder and possibly knows more about the case than anyone, even Eddie Valiant, who seems to be at the head of figuring everything out. But did she stray from Roger with Acme?Ĭhallenge… helping Roger prove his innocence so she can live happily ever after with him. Jessica simply says, “He makes me laugh.” Apparently that’s what it takes to get to Jessica’s heart, and stay there. Everyone, including private detective Eddie Valiant, wants to know what she sees in Roger. Relationship Status… married to Roger Rabbit, the love of her life. Interests… red dresses, seduction, blowing cartoon kisses in the shape of her lips, and getting herself into more trouble than she can handle. Men and toons alike flock to see her sing in her sultry way. Profession… star singer at the Ink and Paint nightclub. She swears he doesn’t have a violent bone in his body and she’ll stop at nothing to help prove his innocence, even if it means explaining what she was really doing with Acme. It might be true that Jessica was caught playing patty-cake with Acme, and that Roger Rabbit saw photos of said patty-cake session only hours before Acme’s murder-but Jessica is convinced that her little “honey bunny” never could’ve hurt anyone. Living… in a desperate search for her husband Roger Rabbit, an A-list toon actor who is wanted for the murder of Toon Town owner Marvin Acme. It’s possible that she never grew up into the woman you see today, at least not the way humans think of it, but rather she was simply “drawn that way.” Jessica’s childhood remains a mystery-if it ever really happened. Grew Up… in Toon Town, a small section of Hollywood exclusively for “toons,” who are living, breathing cartoon characters.
