Bob Spongee vs. SpongeBob SquarePants
Some guy is claiming that his idea was ripped off and is suing Viacom, Nickelodeon, and probably every elementary school kid who ever glued a pair of plastic googly eyes to anything.
Troy Walker created Bob Spongee and learned that he was ripped off by SpongeBob in 2002. Forget about the fact that SpongeBob was on Nick in 1999 and has had his face plastered on everything everywhere in those 3 years. Where was Troy?
Here is Bob Spongee.
See the similarities? It's hard to tell the difference. Look hard. Doesn't it look just like SpongeBob?
I don't know what is more outlandish. The lawsuit or that this guy claims he is making a living as a cartoonist. He draws well (for a 6th grader) and the strip isn't funny.
Not that being funny is a requirement to have comic strip now or anything.
