When I was in middle school, I took commissions from classmates for drawings of Spongebob characters for about a quarter a pop.  It was one of my first forays into “professional” cartooning, and only a small example of the monumental impact of this plucky underwater sponge.  

I know I’m not alone in believing that the show has left an indelible mark on the face of cartoon and internet history, and its aftershock will continue for many years.  

1. “The foos are fighting now until 10pm” is dad’s way of telling me “foo fighters are on austin city limits for a full hour”

i think he was surprised to see shayne more than anything? like he wasn’t expecting it so it made him jump, i don’t think it was anything more than that :-) to be fair no one can know for sure, but considering how touchy and close they are in general, i don’t think he’d be uncomfortable with shayne being close! shayne popped up next to him suddenly and it must’ve scared him for a second, but i don’t think there’s any resentment or anything like that
