SpongeBob: Stephen Hillenburg
Dowiedz się więcej →Stephen Hillenburg was a marine biologist and teacher – and he drew comics about tide pool creatures to keep his students engaged. These same characters made it to Nickelodeon. For his pitch, he wore a Hawaiian shirt, brought a terrarium full of models, and played Hawaiian music in the background. He got the green light. On July 17, 1999, the yellow sponge took up residence in a pineapple under the sea and changed pop culture forever. SpongeBob is memes, nostalgia, and philosophy all rolled into one – because Hillenburg believed that innocence wins. And he was right.
