[[Science Fiction]] writer [[Gary Wolf|Gary K. Wolf]], having written a number of novels such as ''Killerbowl'' and ''The Resurrectionist'' in his genre of choice, wanted his next work to be something a little different, perhaps something that had to do with his two other great loves: [[Private Detective|detective novels]] and [[Newspaper
In these novels, human beings who look and act much like you and me live side-by-side with [[Fantastic Racism|an oppressed minority]] of living, breathing cartoon characters called [[Toon]]s, who look and act exactly as they do on animated cartoons and comic strips but are unable to produce sound, communicating via visible [[Speech Bubbles|dialogue balloons]], (though they ''can''—with some effort—suppress their word balloons and speak; Jessica Rabbit does this, which makes her sexier to humans). The series features various recurring characters but otherwise has [[Negative Continuity|a very loose continuity]], to mimic the format of old-fashioned anthology-style cartoons such as the ''[[Looney Tunes]]''.
