Unofficial

Splatalkies is a fan-made cartoon series released on Youtube by Nerdy Nom Nom. It focuses on Frank and Susie, two teenage squids who host a podcast/news show titled Splatalkies in Susie's bedroom.



Style and production
A notable part of Splatalkies is simplistic, stylised animation. Vectors and backgrounds are made and animated in Photoshop Elements, and edited in Windows Movie Maker and Power Director 14. Some characters such as Frank and Spyke speak English in the series, but the entire script is conveyed through stylised subtitles, even for such characters.

Splatalkies is known for its rapid-fire humour and often breaking the fourth wall for comedic affect, such as when Frank and Susie acknowledged the subtitles that appeared in front of them all the time. Other instances include when Frank transformed into a Super Saiyan as a reference to Dragon Ball.

Many fans have inquired as to why none of the characters seen ever appear in their human/Inkling forms, the creator often replying that he's quite simply too lazy to animate them as anything but squids.
