Roger Rabbit is a fictional character who originated in the 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit, which was adapted in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
History
By October 21, 2015, a Roger Rabbit doll could be seen in the display window of the Blast from the Past memorabilia/antique store as Marty McFly went to buy the Grays Sports Almanac.
Being from 1985, Marty would not have recognized the character as, in his timeline, Who Framed Roger Rabbit was still three years away.
