History Animator Ralph Bakshi originated the idea for Tattertown in high school where it was originally a comic strip called Junk Town. The strip made light of the human condition by showing value of things we throw away. [1]
Bakshi worked with Nickelodeon to bring his strip to life as a regular television series. In 1988, they commissioned him to create a pilot for the series. It aired on December 21, 1988 during the network's Nick At Nite block of programming. This article is about the TV channel. ...
