Spongebob's Friends
Patrick Starfish
SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg began creating cartoons an
pool-dwelling sea life, including starfish, while teaching marine biology at the Orange County Marine
Institute in Dana Point, California, from 1984 to 1987. The idea for
giving Patrick a limited intelligence was due to the fact that real starfish do
not have a brain in their body.

Squidward Tentacles
Unlike most characters in the series, Squidward is generally cynical, grumpy,
tactless, miserable, short-tempered, and narcissistic. He despises many things, including his
consistently annoying neighbors SpongeBob and Patrick, his job at the Krusty Krab, and is an
outcast among the citizens of Bikini Bottom. He is very open about his
dissatisfaction with his job, and has frequently displayed unprofessional
behavior such as sleeping at his counter, failing to clean his workplace, and
excusing himself to the restroom to fall asleep. Squidward enjoys playing his clarinet
(at an elementary level with frequent missed notes and poor intonation, though
Squidward considers himself a brilliant musical prodigy), modern
dance, abstract art, relaxing, public
radio, select television programs, and just about anything else that
he considers "fancy".

Sandy Cheeks
Sandy is an intelligent, scientific, bipedal anthropomorphic squirrel who resides in Bikini Bottom and is featured
as a close friend of SpongeBob SquarePants. She is from Texas and it is for this
reason that she is seen speaking in a Southern accent, and is proud of her home
state which is frequently brought up throughout the course of the series.
