I just had a thought... how on earth did the Hyena Cousins become the Toon Patrol's cousins?? If we were to go with my theory, it certainly wouldn't have been a decision by Kenneth Grahame. I'm thinking it'd be easiest to assume that they were given these cousins when they were redesigned by whatever studio they previously worked at.
And if anyone still preferred that they were created by a specific cartoonist during the Golden Age of cartoons, you could say that they were created along with the Toon Patrol. Y'hear that, Lynx?? You've still got more relatives to reveal! XD

I've been thinking about a concept for a certain kind of toon... it's probably something you've seen before, but this is a new term for it: über-toon. The basic idea is that on rare occasions, a toon can have complete and utter control over toon physics- being able to pull any number or manner of object of any size out of hammerspace, being able to bend space, matter, and time to their wills, having boundless energy, and generally being totally insane, wacky, zany. It's sort of an exaggerated form of the "screwball" toon. A few examples: - Judge Doom, or Baron von Rotten (obviously)
- The Dodo Bird from the Looney Tunes short Porky in Wackyland
revver.com/video/1133518/porky-pig-in-wackyland-1938/ (I like to think that Wackyland has the greatest abundance of über-toons.)
- Alvin, of Alvin and the Chipmunks, under the influence of a magic potion in Alvin & The Chipmunks meet Frankenstein
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2aYMK3AmsY (You can see him in his transformed state for about a second in this trailer.)
- Sammy Ferret in the The Real Ghosbusters episode "Stay Tooned"
(This one's obviously not in the WFRR world.)
- Babs Bunny's disembodied funny side in the Tiny Toons episode "Senserely Yours, Babs"
It's clear that this sort of toon likes to create chaos and mayhem, and can be extremely dangerous if violent. That's probably why they're so rare...

What if "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" in their world was another movie they were making and it was that Toon's job to act like that. Not speaking about the movie, but other Toons. Judge Doom in real life and in the "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" world (if it was a movie) was an actor. They could have used effects for him.

Even if Judge Doom, in this alternate theory of yours, wasn't really an insane murderer in "real life", I don't see why he wouldn't be capable of doing all those feats. He is a toon, after all, and toons are quit capable of bending the laws of physics, as you know...
You'll have to forgive me- I never think of WFRR as a fictional story in the world that it depicts. I've always thought of it as actual events in that world...

No, no, it's alright. I was simply asking a question and you answered. I can understand that as well. Personally, I think of it as an event that happened in their world as well. I was just thinking of a sort of writing challenge I could do. Where it was a movie.

Hmm... that's actually the best use of that alternative I've ever heard of. Good luck with that, then!

Here's something to think about: since vampire toons alone would make it necessary for toons to bleed, would a toon be able to bleed to death? I prefer to think not, since turning into a vampire would be the only context I can think of in which a toon being drained of blood would be required. So I doubt that a toon would be able to kill themselves by slitting their wrists or something like that.

I agree.
like for example if a vampire sucks the blood out of a toon then mostly it will turn into a vampire like every cartoon.

It's just I have a rather grim image of a toon trying to commit suicide by slitting their wrists, and never running out of blood... until their wounds healed.

Eh, yes, a Toon slitting themselfs is quite a...horrible image to imagine.
But, you have a point. Both you and Lol, Fatal. Toons can't really bleed to death and if a vampire bit them, they most likely would turn into vampire.
We're just talking about the Toon universe. If we were talking about the Anime, Furry (which is closely related to Animes, but, in my opinion, more fluffy and cute), and Digitals (video games), this would be much more complicated to try and figure out. *laugh*
Maybe it's best if we take it one step at a time. Try and understand the basics of each at a time before trying to fit them all in one universe.

When it comes to vampire mythology, I usually stick to Dracula... that is, the transformation process is gradual. I'm not sure if I've ever heard of it being instantaneous, like a werewolf...
Other kinds of toons- that is, non-traditional ones that don't use toon physics- are usually another matter entirely.
