RIP - Stephen Hillenburg, creator of SpongeBob Squarepants
He created an iconic set of characters. 57 is too young. ALS is brutal. I feel for his family and friends.
Quote:
Hillenburg graduated from Humboldt State University in 1984 with a bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Planning and Interpretation, with an emphasis on marine resources. He then became a marine biology teacher at the Orange County Marine Institute (now the Ocean Institute) in Dana Point, California. This interest, combined with his artistic talent and love of the sea and its creatures, led him to write and illustrate stories as teaching tools with characters that would later become the denizens of SpongeBob’s home, Bikini Bottom.
Spongebob was a big part of my childhood. It was a unique and cleverly written show back in the day. Thanks Stephen for the childhood memories and may you RIP
