We watch our fair share of cartoons, Alex and I. There are only a few that I can stand: Caillou, Aurthur, Curious George and SpongeBob SquarePants to name a few. We watch a lot of SpongeBob. Mostly because it's always on. At any given time during the day, there is an episode of SpngeBob playing. The other afternoon, Alex and I were watching SpongeBob when John came in
"Why do gay people like Squidward?"
"Huh?"
"Well, I'd heard that Squidward is supposed to be based on some real gay celebrity and SpongeBob has a big gay following because of it"
I'd never heard that, but it got me thinking, who could Squidward be? The only gay celebrity I could think of Squidward reminding me of was Charles Nelson Reilly. So I did some searching online, and found out that Squidward wasn't based on Charles Nelson Reilly, but coincidentally, Charles Nelson Reilly did the voice for The Dirty Bubble. I'm still at a loss as to why gay people in particular would be drawn to SpongeBob. I suspect it's not Squidward at all, but the fact that Spongebob is such a snappy dresser.
