SpongeBob SquarePants (season 1) [SEP] Development
Creator Stephen Hillenburg initially conceived "SpongeBob SquarePants" in 1984, while he was teaching and studying marine biology at what is now the Orange County Ocean Institute. During this period, Hillenburg became fascinated with animation, and wrote a comic book entitled "The Intertidal Zone", starring various anthropomorphic forms of sea life, many of which would evolve into "SpongeBob SquarePants" characters, including "Bob the Sponge", who was the co-host of the comic and resembled an actual sea sponge, as opposed to SpongeBob, who resembles a kitchen sponge. In 1987, Hillenburg left the institute to pursue his dream of becoming an animator, and began to envision the possible concept of a project involving anthropomorphic sea life.
