Le créateur Stephen Hillenburg conçoit initialement Bob l'éponge en 1984, alors qu'il enseignait et étudiait la biologie marine [ 4 ] à ce qui est actuellement l' Orange County Ocean Institute [ 5 ] . Durant cette période, Hillenburg devient fasciné par l'animation, et écrit une bande dessinée intitulée The Intertidal Zone , représentant un nombre de personnages marins anthropomorphes , dont la plupart sont actuellement représentés en tant que personnages de la série Bob l'éponge [ 6 ] , incluant Bob l'éponge, qui était au départ un personnage secondaire aux allures d' éponge de mer , loin de l' éponge domestique qu'il est actuellement [ 7 ] . En 1987, Hillenburg quitte l'institut pour poursuivre ses ambitions d' animateur [ 6 ] , [ 7 ] , et débute dans la conception de ses personnages en dessinant [ 7 ] . En 1992, Hillenburg étudie l'animation à la California Institute of the Arts grâce à Jules Engel (celui-ci ayant été impressionné par les précédents travaux d'Hillenburg) [ 6 ] , [ 8 ] .
The character was initially going to be named " SpongeBoy ," but the name was already in use by other products including a pencil. This was discovered after voice acting for the original seven-minute pilot was recorded in 1997. [ 18 ] Upon finding this out, Hillenburg decided that the character's name still had to contain "Sponge" so that viewers would not mistake the character for a "Cheese Man," and decided to use the name "SpongeBob." He chose "SquarePants" as a family name since it referred to the character's square shape and it had a "nice ring to it." [ 19 ]
Although Drymon would go on to have a significant influence on SpongeBob SquarePants , he was not offered a role on the series initially. As a late recruit to Rocko's Modern Life , he had not established much of a relationship with Hillenburg before SpongeBob ' s conception. Hillenburg first sought out Drymon's storyboard partner, Mark O'Hare —but he had just created the soon-to-be syndicated comic strip, Citizen Dog . [ 15 ] While he would later join SpongeBob as a writer, [ 21 ] he lacked the time to get involved with both projects from the outset. [ 15 ] Drymon has said, "I remember Hillenburg's bringing it up to Mark in our office and asking him if he'd be interested in working on it ... I was all ready to say yes to the offer, but Steve didn't ask; he just left the room. I was pretty desperate ... so I ran into the hall after him and basically begged him for the job. He didn't jump at the chance." [ 15 ] Once Hillenburg had given it some thought and decided to bring Drymon on as creative director, the two began meeting at Hillenburg's house several times a week to develop the series. Drymon has identified this period as having begun in 1996, shortly after the end of Rocko's Modern Life . [ 15 ]
