Original King of the Road Animation Spongebob Cel Art
This original animation cel is from the Nickelodeon TV showSpongeBob Squarepants. 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. * Speed Racer step aside, there is a new King of the Road, and the name is Spongebob... * * 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."
