You think he was supposed to be a potshot at modern Spongebob or insufferable rip-offs like Coconut Fred?
>>151347034He was animated like a cartoon from the '90s
>>151347034it was just toxic positiviy: the character. I don't think the style or character design has much to do with that except for looking like a smiley. Also the animation could be a reference to him being an older smiling friends since he has a more classical animated look than the rest of the show
>>151347034You mean this isn't some weird pacman cartoon?
>>151347034You think his retirement was voluntary or did Mr. Boss have to force it on him? Squim doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would want to stop working.
>>151347034He’s based on 90’s and is a bit of a combo of Spielberg cartoons, Ren & Stimpy, and Don Bluth, you retarded zoomer.
His animation was really fun to watch
>>151347034>>151347069>>151347498He's a bit of all of these, plus a jab at folks who think Pim is just happy to the point of delusion.
>>151347034given the Simpsons joke at the start of the episode, i'm inclined to think that he's supposed to be a version of Pim who has been flanderized through 487 seasons of wacky antics into a complete caricature of himself>>151347458he retired in 2001, so it was probably forced. the Squim Dance wouldn't really fly for cheering people up after 9/11
Speaking of the sponge, it’s funny to think that Zach Hadel is technically SpongeBob alumni since he did freelance work on an episode as a board artist (said scenes he boarded showcase his artstyle)https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a1RFdyAyLWQTherefore technically, he’s eligible to be on the SpongeBob family tree.
