I was thinking that Rocket Raccoon was based on Jaxxon but I just looked it up and the latter pre-dates the former so maybe it's the other way around? I understand Jaxxon is mainly inspired by Bugs Bunny, but why else would he call himself a "rocket rabbit"? That's not a common expression (Rocket Raccoon is based off the Beatles's "Rocky Raccoon"). Also they're basically the same character, just different type of rodent.

Also, it's kind of sad how short lived Jaxxon was (had to look it up, 16 was his last issue - I'm now 25 issues after that and never got to say goodbye...). At the same time, I wonder if I would even care about him if he wasn't such an infamous character. And why is that? Because he's silly? I think he fits the Marvel SW universe rather well. Is it because he was so short lived?
