Quite frankly, I never pictured him as "short", but sometimes they depict him that way. Especially in the Opening, when he runs and chases Prime Evil along with the other guys.
Any guess?

Looking at the model sheets, you can see that Eddie´s a bit smaller than Jake, but a bit taller than Tracy. He is bulky so maybe that makes him look shorter than he really is.
Tasha and I already talked about the boys´ height once, and we figured that Eddie maybe is about 1,70 m – 1,73 m tall.
Jake is lean and skinny so you can easily get the impression that he´s quite tall. In fact I don´t think he´s that tall, maybe around 1,80 m. Jake almost is of the same height as Jessica and Futura.

Keep in account the fact Tracy hasn't a "straight" posture. |

It's harder to gauge animation than live-action, isn't it?
Since what's on the screen isn't always terribly reliable, I'm going to cheat a little and apply real-world measurements to Jake and Eddie. More specifically, Abbott and Costello, since that's who I feel Jake and Eddie were modeled after and intended to be. (Also, the connection to the "Meet the Monsters" movies is irresistible!)
Bud Abbott was 5'8", and Lou Costello was 5'5". That being said, Lou's weight made him look shorter than Bud.

The parallel never ever crossed my mind, even if it should have. The usual rule of thumb for a comedy double-act is, "If it's not based on Laurel and Hardy, it's based on Abbott and Costello." |
