Squidward lives in the middle and that's Patrick's on the left
That was a good episode by the way. The punch line was that Patrick says something to the effect that his underwear was white when he put it on (and it turned yellow).
Please people. The comments by Dr. Dobson are NOT about the SpongeBob character nor the cartoon show. Dr. Dobson's comments are regarding the support materials to be used with the diversity video.
I've got a littel daughter who watches it and I can say, of all the cartoons, it's one of the least harmful.
In case you haven't seen it, it's cartoon about a little boy who's a "mad scientist." His older sister DeeDee is always annoying him and destroying his laboratory. In one episode Dexter competed with a rival scientist (a boy), while DeeDee had to fend off the affections of a pretty, long-haired blond boy.
I can recall the horror I felt at the end when the blond boy and the little scientist, heartbroken for different reasons, turned and stared into each others eyes, long & deeply, and then you saw HEARTS in them! The two boys held hands and went off in the sunset to "play" together. It was one of most disturbing things I've ever seen. I wrote to Cartoon Network, but got no response (natch). Now I just won't turn on that channel.
Wrong! They are neighbors. Spongebob lives in a pineapple, while Patrick lives under a rock. If there is anyone who is gay, its Squidward.
They do not live together and have never shown anything but friendship to one another.
Quite likely the episode you mentioned has the answer to the problem you perceive. I know there was one wherein they had a squabble and were pretending that they were no longer best friends.
