What year did Stephen hillenburg start working for Nickelodeon?
Stephen Hillenburg started with Nickelodeon as a writer and director of the animated series Rocko's Modern Life, which premiered in September 1993, lasted four seasons, and in my humble opinion is at least as entertaining as Spongebob Squarepants. He also worked on Rocko's Modern Life as a storyboard artist during the second and third seasons and as a creative producer during the last season. (That was a hoot!) In May of 1999, two years after the finalé of Rocko's Modern Life, Spongebob Squarepants premiered. Spongebob Squarepants was created by Mr. Hillenburg, its characters were developed by him, and he wrote the theme song. (If nautical nonsense be something you wish, then drop on the deck and blub like a fish!) From the start, he has been, and continues to be, the show's Executive Producer.

When did Stephen hillenberg first draw SpongeBob?
Although SpongeBob premiered in 1999 and was being developed several years before that, the earliest drawing of him can be dated back to about 1986. The special features on the Spongebob season 1 DVDs provide a LOT more information, plus the actual drawing. Back when Stephen Hillenburg worked at the Ocean Institute, he created a comic called the Inter-Tidal Zone, which featured a sponge called Bob. The sponge was, however, round, and didn't look like SpongeBob, but that is technically where he got his start.

How are snails and cats alike?
I've been trying to figure it out for a long time. People who have had pet snails generally also like cats. Then on SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob's pet snail Gary meows. So there must be a similarity. I guess they are both sleek. That's a start. Maybe the cat evolved from the snail.
