Were Scratch Cat and Gobo the only mascots back in Scratch 1.0?

He was planned to be the primary mascot but was opted as the second one. To back this up, before 3.0 came out, @mres (scratch founder) posted a project showing concept designs for scratch cat and how scratch cat came to be, and one of the earlier concept arts showed gobo. And also he was shown in the April fools 2013 project about features added to the 2.0 beta alongside pico.

I think Gobo was a little more special at the time than just another sprite, but he wasn't posted everywhere like Scratch Cat was. For example, the first 3 emojis that were made for Scratch were _meow_, _gobo_, and _waffle_. The Gobo emoji (along with waffle) was the second emoji. It debuted in Scratch 2.0 according to the Scratch Wiki, but I'd still say Gobo's presence in Scratch 1.x established themselves as something more than a typical sprite.

There was also a Christmas logo made back in 2009 that featured these two characters.

Also, is the Super Scratch Programming Adventure book, which features Scratch Cat and Gobo and as well as other characters, official?
