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.

Nachtrag vom 28.11.2018:

Er schuf eine Serie für Kinder, die so gut ist, dass Erwachsene sie lieben

Der Humor: flach, überdreht, bestenfalls absurd. Eine typische Kinderserie eben. Aber eine mit Kultstatus. Aus der Popkultur ist Spongebob nicht mehr wegzudenken.
