The story takes place under the deep blue seain Bikini Bottom, where SpongeBob resides. SpongeBob, who is a yellow,porous sponge, is your typical happy-go-lucky character, as he is alwayscheerful and enjoys making people laugh. Patrick Star, SpongeBob's neighbor whois a starfish, is your average children's show idiot, as he boasts knowingnothing and is often getting himself into ridiculous situations. Between the homesof these two lies the home of the miserable Squidward, a squid, who is knownfor being grouchy and playing tricks on SpongeBob and Patrick. Both SpongeBoband Squidward work at the Krusty Krab, a fast food business run by the greedymoney-loving Mr. Krabs, a crab, the arch rival of the evil, possiblymisunderstood, Plankton. Another neighbor, Sandy Cheeks, an athletic squirrelwho normally wears an astronaut's space suit, was introduced in "Tea atthe Treedome." She spends most of her time inventing andexperimenting. * Look how ridiculous Spongebob looks, running frantically with all those kites in hand... He can seriously hurt himself if he is not careful... * * Original Production Animated Cel Overall Size of Cel: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" Very Good ConditionThis is an original hand-painted cel set-up used in the productionof an episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants." Each one-of-a-kind set-uprepresents a slight change in position of the characters. When individuallyphotographed and projected in rapid succession, the images appear to move. * To create production cels, the original animator's drawing is transferred ontoan acetate cel (by hand-inking and/or photo copying). The cel is thenhand-painted on the reverse side. * The cel received by the winning bidder may be ever so slightly differentfrom the one in the auction photos. * The cel is ready to be matted andframed. The animator's notations are atthe bottom of the cel. The cel is multi-layered, Spongebob's eyes and arm, mouth, and then the main image. * *
