"IT'S SLATCH, OKAY?! IT'S SLATCH!"

my dumping ground for slatch/scratch saga stuff because I think my main's 2 followers might be getting sick of it | you can call me Jess or Qbert but I don't really care | #ScratchRebellion

A little birdie told me that most if not all of the comments on famous scratchers profiles were rude or intrusive.

And damn that little birde was right.

So I rewatched The Slatch & Scratch Sagas the other day and decided to finish an old sketch I did while the series was still coming out. I think it turned out pretty nice if I do say so myself!

This series is pretty obscure outside of Scratch so I don’t blame you if you have no idea what this is. Basically, it’s about the series’ creator, WazzoTV, fighting to save the website from various evils. This poster is specifically based on the first half of the series, referred to as The Slatch Saga.

It’s a really fun and really underrated series, which I’d highly recommend. It’s insanely well-made considering that:

A majority of it was done by a single college kid.

It was animated almost entirely on a programming website intended for young kids that doesn’t have onion-skinning, a timeline, or anything. You can’t even pause or skip ahead in a video. It’s very much not designed for serious animation projects like this.

It started entirely as a joke.

You can watch the whole series (plus some extras) here with this easy-to-binge YouTube playlist I put together: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS5HNSgMMj11ZTFo6R1ho53952YhdO97b

TL;DR - I did a drawing based on a silly series of Scratch animations that I think everyone should be supporting because it’s actually insane what Wazzo and his crew have managed to pull off.
