Spongbob's crator was also a marine biologist. He based this on the character from a book he wrote in the late 1980s. Spongebob is a sea sponge who lives in a pinapple under the sea. He has a snail named gary that he loves dearly.He works as a frycook at The Krusty Krab. He also attends Mrs.Puffs boating school. Unfortunately, he kinda stinks at boating. His best friend, patrick, is a starfish. He is very good natured and most people love him.
