did he drop on the deck, and flop like a fish?
too soon?
Outside of Bug Bunny, Donald Duck, et. al., SpongeBob was my favorite. Hillenburg resisted leftists efforts to corrupt the cartoon with PC garbage and kept the show wholesome and clean - and very entertaining and funny.
Dang — 57.
That is REALLY young!
I am too old for SBSP and don’t have kids so I don’t understand the show. I do know it is fabulously popular.
RIP.
RIP.
We have been a Spongebob family for many years.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy (Borgnine and Conway) are my favorites.
Also, Patrick Man, who reminds me of Super Grover.
Me and my boy bonded over SpongeBob. Thank you, Stephen Hillenburg. RIP

My kids and now grandkids love SBSP but, the article comparing Hillenburg to Stan Lee saying both were cartoon heroes, is overstating Hillenburg’s talent and influence just a bit.
I recently learned that a girl I worked with around 20 years ago died of ALS. She was unusually pretty and also one of the best girl athletes I have ever seen. Very young.
I wonder if being very athletic is connected with ALS. She really was beautiful and the very picture of health.
Damn, this guy was my age (actually, almost exactly Obama’s age, they’re both about 4 months younger than me).
Not much of a fan of his cartoon (my kids loved it...too much, which is my reason for not doing so), but I do offer condolences to his wife and child. They certainly needed him and will miss him.
RIP, creative guy.
I hope Charles Schulz isn’t next. [things in 3s]
Very sad to hear. My family, both kids and adults, really enjoyed Spongebob. To this day, we reference it in jokes. :)
I used to watch Spongebob with my nephew, then I had my son so now we watch it together. My favorite character is Squidward. I didn’t even realize Hillenburg was ill so this really comes as a surprise. May he rest in peace.
RIP Stephen thanks for the laughs and the fun times with my daughter.

RIP. Many laughs in the VPINTHEAK household attributed to SpongeBob.
RIP
Take Bob with you, please.
I love to watch SBSP.
Seen them all.
Patrick Starfish is a bit much, not my favorite...but love the other characters.
Due to my entrepreneurial spirit and frugality, my spouse has often referenced Mr. Crabs and My Lucky Dollar.
RIP creator of a funny and decent show.
