All of the Internet owes Stephen Hillenberg a debt of thanks. SpongeBob is the heart of meme culture. It has served an entire generation with enough memes for a dozen lifetimes. An entire subculture was forged in the fires of the pineapple under the sea. With this so soon after the passing of Stan Lee, it hurts to lose so much so quickly . Rest In Peace, Stephen. You gave us so much.
