Initially, Ed was overwhelmed by this, since he was dealing with other changes at the moment. In Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, it’s revealed that Rachel is now a transgender woman and has finally found happiness selling Fatheads popsicles in the desert. In the end, she finally creates her masterpiece, only to find out that it is not as popular as Wacky Delly originally was. Shortly after, Wacky Delly is cancelled, and her wish to leave the studio unintentionally comes true.

In an attempt to get out of her contract, Rachel hired Rocko, Heffer and Filburt to create an intentionally horrible cartoon called Wacky Delly to have it immediately cancelled (instead, the show becomes a runaway hit, much to her dismay).Īfter several attempts of creating bad episodes, such as showing a tub of mayo for ten whole minutes, Rachel becomes discouraged that she won't ever get out of her contract, and so she finally gets involved in the series. Afterwards, thinking she's out of the cartoon business, her bosses tell her before letting Rachel go, that she must create a new show. She rose to fame after creating a cartoon show called The Fatheads (about a married couple, based loosely on her parents). However, she and Ed finally reunited and ended their feud after Rachel attends her parents' wedding anniversary after being informed of the event by Rocko (whom she eventually bases the beaver character of Rolo on). Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling comes to Netflix this Friday.She was disowned by Ed for not wanting to work for Conglom-O like her father, so she went to Hollo-Wood to become a cartoonist, which had always been her dream. I'd imagine not very many kids remember what Rocko's Modern Life was all about, Rocko having his own nostalgia trip in the movie seems like a meta-commentary on people who grew up in the 90s. After all, its main audience is all mostly adults now. I guess it would make sense that Rocko would delve into some more adult themes this time around.

In Static Cling, Rocko is off to look for Ralph (now Rachel) as he tries to get his favorite show The Fatheads (which Rachel created) back on air. 'When I started writing, I really started latching onto the idea of change and how society has changed and what's gone on in the last 20 years and the development of our characters and how they would react to change… It felt natural, because it was not only about change, about somebody finding who they are and making that courageous choice to go through that change.'
