Description
Like the Maltese Falcon, where the book was also inspired from, this tea kettle triggers all of the mayhem and murder that unfolds in the novel. This very special 'tea kettle" is rumored to be rare and very valuable that everyone wants to get their hands on it one way or the other. The "tea kettle" is rumored to also be cursed and causes bad luck to which ever toon is unfortunate enough to come a cross it. The 'tea kettle's" origins can be traced as far as ancient Arabia. Over the years, many thieves and killers have died over it either though murder or the mysterious and legendary being that inhabits it. The "tea kettle" bounced all over the world for many, many, many, many years causing doom, chaos, death, greed and mayhem upon its many owners. Until it landed in a junk shop, where it was originally found by a young toon man, who claims to be the cousin of legendary comic book marine superhero, Aquaman. The young man was also one of the victims of the curse of the "kettle" and ended up in Benny The Beetle's Junk Shop. until, one day, a studio producer bought it and it was used as a prop in a film adaption of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland story, where Roger plays a basket hound (Roger's a really great actor). After the movie was done, Roger steals the kettle and keeps it as a souvenir like he does with old props from different movies, commercials, ads, cartoons, and comics that he's appeared in over the years. This kettle was also the thing that triggers Roger's murderous instincts and causes him to kill Rocco DeGreasy and also Roger's (surprisingly) clever and devious plans to get his wife, Jessica Rabbit, to fall in love with him again and to get rid of the constant thorn in his side for years in his comic career. But, yet, karma catches up with the poor lovesick rabbit and he gets "censored" himself (to see what "censoring" means, see this pic: insaneasylum123.deviantart.com… . In the book, Roger is sorta a nutcase (in both senses) and had major mental problems. So, he tried to use that as an advantage in his plan. At first, some of his deeds get really obvious to the reader and very confusing to the characters within the novel. But, at the same time, Roger's plans get more convoluted and complicated to even the reader that they have to put together the clues and events in the book in order to solve the case.
I tried to make Eddie's hand look more realistic. So, I used my own hand holding a skull piggy bank I own. I added more detail on Eddie's hand than Roger's to make it look as if both Roger and Eddie r actually looking at it. I wanted to originally draw both Eddie and Roger's reflections on the "tea kettle's" surface. Roger's hand was really easy to draw actually. I sorta wanted the tea kettle to look more detailed and inked-styled like the original pieces by John Tenniel (the illustrator of the Alice stories). I wanted the kettle to look sorta beaten up and old the best way I can by adding all of the scratches and marks on it. I actually had to use a picture page from Alice's Adventures In Wonderland as a reference for the "tea kettle" too, but I tried to make the "kettle" look messed up as I can.

I'm almost done with the series of art pieces dedicated to both Gary K. Wolf himself and the Who Censored Roger Rabbit? novel. All I have to go now is the pic of Jessica from her younger years as an adult comic book star (done in the style of a underground 70's adult comic much like the works of Robert Crumb) and a very sad pic of Roger's doppelganger's devolution through the course of the novel. Stay tooned, Folks, for more artworks soon~!!!

Btw, Guys, try to figure out y all of the words like "tea kettle" or just plan "kettle" has quotation marks around them. When u read the book, it will suprise and shock u. Shhhhh... no spoilers.
