SpongeBob SquarePants

No, we’re not joking about this.

This would indeed be a “Sweet Victory.”

For the artist and marine biologist, there is no more fitting final resting place.

Fans of the cartoon SpongeBob Squarepants will be saddened to learn that the creator of the series has passed away.

Hillenburg, a marine biologist turned animator, created one of the most beloved animated series in history.

The third SpongeBob SquarePants movie will be an homage to ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’
