History

The following is a brief overview of the production of Fatty Cat, running from 2009 to present.
==The Series' History==
The series began in early 2009 after a comic called "Fat Cat" from a Nickelodeon magazine was read by Ethan Boisvert and a couple of friends named Olivia and Erin. They decided to create their own comic and also call it "Fat Cat", but the title was changed to "Fatty Cat" to avoid copyright issues. The first two episodes aired on April 23, 2009.
The series' first wave ran throughout the rest of the year. During June 2009, Olivia and Erin left the producer team, leaving Ethan Boisvert to take on the series himself. After the wave finale was written in early December 2009, Ethan Boisvert published a book called Ethan's Journal, which was released on Christmas Day 2009. The first three comics of the second wave were leaked in the book as bonus material.
The three episodes didn't officially air until early 2010. However, due to a lack of viewership, the series was cancelled exactly one year after it started, on April 23, 2010.
Ethan Boisvert revived the series in February 2011, continuing the second wave. The art in the series had minorly improved, with more readable handwriting. The next four comics weren't written until July 2011, and four were written to make up for the lost time. The series returned in November 2011, with a new producer, Nail64, joining the team.
The episodes continued airing regularly until a six-month hiatus occured, delaying the end of Wave 2 until October 2012. The series was renewed for a fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh wave in December of 2012. After that, the episodes were written at a steady pace. In June of 2013, during the series' fifth wave, Olivia was slated to rejoin the producer team, but was unable to due to complications. However, in her place, Dr. Rusty joined the producers three months later. A total of 56 episodes aired in 2013 alone.
The artwork improved greatly during the sixth wave, and and the series became 5 years old in 2014. Ethan Boisvert announced an eighth wave in September 2014, and a ninth wave was announced in March 2015. The series became 6 years old on April 23, 2015.
