This style began being used by a few animation companies in the early 1950s (mostly UPA, of WesternAnimation/GeraldMcBoingBoing and WesternAnimation/MrMagoo fame), and became dominant in American TV animation during the [[TheSixties '60s]] and [[TheSeventies '70s]], eclipsing the more naturalistic style used in most animation during earlier decades. It was phased out during the early [[TheEighties '80s]], when more naturalistic styles again became dominant in American animation, but then became the standard ''yet again'' (on television at least) during the late [[TheNineties '90s]], and has remained in active use to this day -- shows animated in [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash Flash]] and UsefulNotes/ToonBoom tend to look especially good in this style. However, as of the TheNewTwenties, most mainstream television animation in the US has switched to its less detailed, more expressive cousin: ThinLineAnimation.

* ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' gives most objects scratchy outlines of varying thickness to look like a black-and-white cartoon from the 30s. The characters notably have ''no'' outlines, although ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheDarkRevival'' gave them thin glowing white outlines for a more convincingly hands drawn appearance.
