Roger Rabbit Roger Rabbit is a fictional animated rabbit character. The character first appeared in author Gary K. Wolf's 1981 novel, "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?". In the book, Roger is a second-banana in popular comic strip, "Baby Herman". Roger hires private detective Eddie Valiant to investigate why his employers, the DeGreasy Brothers, have reneged on their promise to give Roger his own strip. When Roger is found murdered in his home, Valiant sets out to look for the killer, with the help of Roger's "dopple" (in the book, comic characters can construct physical copies of themselves using their minds that last for only a few days).
