[[folder: Eddie running into Lena Hyena]]
* Okay, so Eddie finds Jessica's car in Toontown, and happens to spot what he believes to be her in the window in a hotel room only to discover it is an ugly toon named Lena Hyena who happens to look like an uglier version of Jessica. That is too much of a coincidence. Did Jessica know Lena, and had her stay in the suite as a trap for someone if they were following her? Or did it belong to Jessica, and Lena snuck in to take her clothes and try to make herself look like Jessica? Or perhaps she was moving into the suite and Jessica had given her some of he clothes?

** Why, to fix the [[IncrediblyLamePun plotholes]], naturally!

** At the bar, Judge Doom hinted that he used to have hyenas as henchmen before the weasels, who were said to have laughed themselves to death. One could make the statement that Lena Hyena used to be at the same beauty standards as Jessica (hence why they appear the same at first) and that her appearance took a downturn after losing her husband, possibly a former [[IncrediblyLamePun henchman of Doom]]. She ended up hiding from the outside world, so no one knew about her changed appearance. And when she decided to go looking for love after getting over her being a widow, she had reached the point of thinking she was supposed to chase down the objects of her affection. (In a similar vein to how Judge Doom was a Toon actor who played villainous roles until an accident left him thinking he truly was a villain.)

Given the fact that it was Marvin Acme who was fraternizing with his wife, Roger may have had the motive to inflict bodily harm upon him. However, also considering that he’s a goofball, both on camera and off, he just doesn’t seem like the type who would even dream of murder. Therefore, what reason (besides the aforementioned cheating) would the authorities have to suspect him of such a thing?
* As incredible as it is to think a lovably goofy toon like Roger would even be put in the same ''sentence'' with murder, a human being's death at the hands of a toon does have precedent. Taking into account [[ADeadlyAffair the classic motive of infidelity]], so to speak; Roger’s recent HostilityOnTheSet; the rather {{slapstick}} MO in which Acme was killed (dropping a safe on his head); R.K.’s account of Roger’s rage the previous night, and the yellow paint found at the crime scene, it all gave the authorities who they thought was the only logical suspect no matter how seemingly absurd. Plus, there’s likely a discriminatory bias against toons automatically ruling out human foul play.

* Is it even possible for a publically-traded stock to have a single owner, at least without drawing some raised eyebrows?

* [[TheBadGuyWins If Judge Doom's plan of dissolving ToonTown and paving a freeway over it had succeeded]], what would have happened to toons created after the 40s events of the film, such as WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons, ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}, WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants, and WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}? Would they have never existed?
