Both songs scored zero points, meaning he tied with himself for last place. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curiosity 4 Posted November 28, 2018 I never thought my first post on the forum would be something like this, but since no one has thought to report it yet, Stephen Hillenburg, Creator of the world famous cartoon Spongebob Squarepants, has passed away at the age of 57. I'm american, so I wasn't quite sure what news source to link. Hopefully the New York Times will suffice. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/27/obituaries/stephen-hillenburg-spongebob-squarepants-creator-dies-at-57.html A sad day for cartoon fans. I was a early 2000's kid, so his cartoon is what I grew up on. I can remember watching episodes with my siblings when I was younger, and quoting them as a teen. To this day we all sing "Santa's coming tonight, tonight!" every Christmas eve. Apologies if this isn't the right thread to post such a thing in (This is also my first experience with a forum). Either way, he will be missed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way, he will be missed. It's completely fine to post it here. Hillenburg does have a standalone thread, where his death has already been reported, but there's no issue posting the same death in multiple relevant threads. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
