Scratch is the digital copy of the human Mike Dobby and a posthumous major overarching character of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series, The Amazing Digital Circus. Mike was a C&A employee noted by Grant Best for his clever mind. Together with Grant and other workers at the company, he created Caine and then created the headset that scans the wearers brains and creates digital copies of them. Mike was the first human to arrive in the Digital Circus. He was also the first individual to abstract according to Kinger.
