Many of the series' ideas originated in The Intertidal Zone, an unpublished educational comic book Hillenburg created in 1989 to teach his students about undersea life.<a href="#cite_note-5">[4]</a> Hillenburg joined Nickelodeon in 1992 as an artist on <a href="/wiki/Rocko%27s_Modern_Life" title="Rocko's Modern Life">Rocko's Modern Life</a>.<a href="#cite_note-6">[5]</a> After Rocko was cancelled in 1996, he began developing SpongeBob SquarePants into a television series that same year, and in 1997, a seven-minute pilot was pitched to Nickelodeon. The network's executives wanted SpongeBob to be a child in school, but Hillenburg preferred SpongeBob to be an adult character.<a href="#cite_note-tbivision-7">[6]</a> He was prepared to abandon the series, but compromised by creating <a href="/wiki/Mrs._Puff" title="Mrs. Puff">Mrs. Puff</a> and her boating school so SpongeBob could attend school as an adult.<a href="#cite_note-8">[7]</a> In only a month after its premiere in 1999, the show became the highest-rated and most viewed animated Saturday morning program that year, beating <a href="/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_(TV_series)" title="Pokémon (TV series)">Pokémon</a>.<a href="#cite_note-9">[8]</a> The series received worldwide critical acclaim, and had gained more popularity by its second season.

Although these interests would not overlap for some time—the idea of drawing fish seemed boring to him—Hillenburg pursued both during college, majoring in <a href="/wiki/Marine_biology" title="Marine biology">marine biology</a> and minoring in art. After graduating in 1984, he joined the <a href="/wiki/Ocean_Institute" title="Ocean Institute">Ocean Institute</a>, an organization in <a href="/wiki/Dana_Point,_California" title="Dana Point, California">Dana Point, California</a>, dedicated to educating the public about <a href="/wiki/Marine_science" class="mw-redirect" title="Marine science">marine science</a> and <a href="/wiki/Maritime_history" title="Maritime history">maritime history</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Ocean_Institute-35">[33]</a><a href="#cite_note-Big_Pop_Fun-36">[34]</a> While Hillenburg was there, his love of the ocean began to influence his artistry. He created a precursor to SpongeBob SquarePants: a comic book titled The Intertidal Zone used by the institute to teach visiting students about the <a href="/wiki/Tide_pool#Marine_life" title="Tide pool">animal life of tide pools</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Big_Pop_Fun-36">[34]</a> The comic starred various <a href="/wiki/Anthropomorphism" title="Anthropomorphism">anthropomorphic</a> sea lifeforms, many of which would evolve into SpongeBob SquarePants characters.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBanks20049-37">[35]</a> Hillenburg tried to get the comic professionally published, but none of the companies he sent it to were interested.<a href="#cite_note-Big_Pop_Fun-36">[34]</a> A large inspiration to Hillenburg was <a href="/wiki/Ween" title="Ween">Ween</a>'s 1997 album <a href="/wiki/The_Mollusk" title="The Mollusk">The Mollusk</a>, which had a nautical and underwater theme. Hillenburg contacted the band shortly after the album's release, explaining the baseline ideas for SpongeBob SquarePants, and also requested a song from the band, which they sent on Christmas Eve.

Before this could materialize, he attended an animation festival, which inspired him to make a slight change in course.

"SquarePants" was chosen as a family name after Kenny saw a picture of the character and remarked, "Boy, look at this sponge in square pants, thinking he can get a job in a fast food place."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBanks200430-46">[44]</a> When he heard Kenny say it, Hillenburg loved the phrase and felt it would reinforce the character's nerdiness.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBanks200430-46">[44]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENeuwirth200351-52">[50]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Assembling_the_crew">Assembling the crew</h4></div> <a href="/wiki/Derek_Drymon" title="Derek Drymon">Derek Drymon</a>, who served as creative director for the first three seasons, has said that Hillenburg wanted to surround himself with a "team of young and hungry people."<a href="#cite_note-DrymonHA-47">[45]</a> Many of the major contributors to SpongeBob SquarePants had worked before with Hillenburg on Rocko's Modern Life, including: Drymon, art director <a href="/wiki/Nick_Jennings_(artist)" title="Nick Jennings (artist)">Nick Jennings</a>, supervising director <a href="/wiki/Alan_Smart" title="Alan Smart">Alan Smart</a>, writer/voice actor <a href="/wiki/Mr._Lawrence" title="Mr. Lawrence">Doug Lawrence</a> (often credited as Mr. Lawrence), and <a href="/wiki/Tim_Hill_(director)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tim Hill (director)">Tim Hill</a>, who helped develop the <a href="/wiki/Series_bible" class="mw-redirect" title="Series bible">series bible</a>.<a href="#cite_note-DrymonHA-47">[45]</a><a href="#cite_note-KennyHA-48">[46]</a> 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, <a href="/wiki/Mark_O%27Hare" title="Mark O'Hare">Mark O'Hare</a>—but he had just created the soon-to-be syndicated comic strip, <a href="/wiki/Citizen_Dog_(comic)" class="mw-redirect" title="Citizen Dog (comic)">Citizen Dog</a>.<a href="#cite_note-DrymonHA-47">[45]</a> While he would later join SpongeBob as a writer,<a href="#cite_note-O'HareHA-53">[51]</a> he lacked the time to get involved with both projects from the outset.<a href="#cite_note-DrymonHA-47">[45]</a> 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."<a href="#cite_note-DrymonHA-47">[45]</a> 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.<a href="#cite_note-DrymonHA-47">[45]</a> Jennings was also instrumental in SpongeBob's genesis.<a href="#cite_note-ColemanHA-54">[52]</a> Kenny has called him "one of SpongeBob's early graphics mentors".<a href="#cite_note-KennyHA-48">[46]</a> On weekends, Kenny joined Hillenburg, Jennings, and Drymon for creative sessions where they recorded ideas on a tape recorder.<a href="#cite_note-KennyHA-48">[46]</a> Kenny performed audio tests as SpongeBob during these sessions, while Hillenburg voice acted the other characters.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBanks200431-45">[43]</a><a href="#cite_note-KennyHA-48">[46]</a> Hill contributed scripts for several first-season episodes (including the pilot)<a href="#cite_note-55">[53]</a><a href="#cite_note-56">[54]</a><a href="#cite_note-57">[55]</a><a href="#cite_note-58">[56]</a> and was offered the role of <a href="/wiki/Story_editor" title="Story editor">story editor</a>, but turned it down—he would go on to pursue a career as a family film director.<a href="#cite_note-59">[57]</a><a href="#cite_note-60">[58]</a> In his stead, Pete Burns was brought in for the job.

He also physically portrays Patchy the Pirate in live-action segments of most special episodes. Kenny previously worked with Stephen Hillenburg on Rocko's Modern Life. When Hillenburg created SpongeBob SquarePants, he approached Kenny to voice the main character.<a href="#cite_note-76">[74]</a> Kenny originally used the voice of SpongeBob for a minor character on Rocko.<a href="#cite_note-Radio-50">[48]</a> He forgot how to perform the voice initially and did not intend to use it afterward. Hillenburg, however, used a video clip of the episode to remind Kenny of the voice.<a href="#cite_note-Radio-50">[48]</a> When Hillenburg heard Kenny perform the voice, he knew immediately he wanted it for his character. He said to Nickelodeon executives, "That's it—I don't want to hear anybody else do the voice. We've got SpongeBob."<a href="#cite_note-KennyHA-48">[46]</a> The network insisted on auditioning more actors, but Hillenburg turned them down; in the words of Tom Kenny, "one of the advantages of having a strong creator is that the creator can say, 'No, I like that—I don't care about celebrities.'"<a href="#cite_note-KennyHA-48">[46]</a> While Kenny was developing SpongeBob's voice, the show's casting crew wanted him to have a unique, high-pitched laugh in the tradition of <a href="/wiki/Popeye" title="Popeye">Popeye</a> and <a href="/wiki/Woody_Woodpecker" title="Woody Woodpecker">Woody Woodpecker</a>.<a href="#cite_note-77">[75]</a> Fagerbakke voices Patrick Star<a href="#cite_note-Star-78">[76]</a> and other miscellaneous characters. At the same time when Hillenburg, Derek Drymon and Tim Hill were writing the pilot "Help Wanted", Hillenburg was also conducting auditions to find voices for the characters.<a href="#cite_note-DrymonHA-47">[45]</a> Fagerbakke auditioned for the role of Patrick after Kenny had been cast.<a href="#cite_note-Fagerbakkevoice-79">[77]</a> Fagerbakke recalled that during this audition, "Hillenburg actually played for me a portion of Tom [Kenny]'s performance [as SpongeBob], and they were looking for a <a href="/wiki/Counterpoint" title="Counterpoint">counterpoint</a>."<a href="#cite_note-Fagerbakkevoice-79">[77]</a> In an interview, Fagerbakke compared himself to the character and said, "It's extremely gratifying".<a href="#cite_note-FagerbakkeInt-80">[78]</a> Whenever Patrick is angry Fagerbakke models his performance after American actress <a href="/wiki/Shelley_Winters" title="Shelley Winters">Shelley Winters</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBanks200433-81">[79]</a> Squidward Tentacles is voiced by Rodger Bumpass, who describes him as "a very nasally, monotone kind of guy." He said the character "became a very interesting character to do" because of "his sarcasm, and then his frustration, and then his apoplexy, and so he became a wide spectrum of emotions".<a href="#cite_note-Bumpass-82">[80]</a> Arthur Brown, author of Everything I Need to Know, I Learned from Cartoons!, has compared Squidward's voice to that of <a href="/wiki/Jack_Benny" title="Jack Benny">Jack Benny</a>'s,<a href="#cite_note-Brown-83">[81]</a> a similarity Bumpass says is mostly unintentional.<a href="#cite_note-Bumpass-82">[80]</a> Voice acting veteran Clancy Brown voices Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob's boss at the Krusty Krab. Hillenburg modeled Mr. Krabs after his former manager at a seafood restaurant, whose strong <a href="/wiki/Maine_accent" title="Maine accent">Maine accent</a> reminded Hillenburg of a pirate.<a href="#cite_note-minipage-84">[82]</a> Brown decided to use a "piratey" voice for the character with "a little Scottish brogue" after hearing Hillenburg's description of his boss.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeck201386–88-85">[83]</a> According to Brown, his Mr. Krabs voice was mostly improvised during his audition and it was not challenging for him to find the correct voice.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeck201386–88-85">[83]</a> Mr. Lawrence had met Hillenburg before on Rocko's Modern Life. While working on the pilot episode of SpongeBob, Hillenburg invited him to audition for all the characters.<a href="#cite_note-MrLawrenceInt-86">[84]</a> Since other voices had been found for the main cast already, Lawrence began by voicing a variety of minor characters. This included Plankton, who was initially only set to appear in one episode.<a href="#cite_note-MrLawrenceInt-86">[84]</a><a href="#cite_note-DrymonHA-47">[45]</a> Mr. Lawrence recalls that Nickelodeon executives told Hillenburg, "'we could <a href="/wiki/Stunt_casting" title="Stunt casting">stunt-cast</a> this.

Lawrence called improvisation his "favorite part of the voice over" in 2009.<a href="#cite_note-90">[88]</a> He elaborated in a 2012 interview, saying, "I always enjoy the back-and-forth. [Talley and I] start to actually overlap so much talking to each other that [the voice directors] have to tell us, 'hey, stop doing that, separate what you're saying!'"<a href="#cite_note-MrLawrenceInt-86">[84]</a> Carolyn Lawrence voices Sandy Cheeks. She was in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, with a friend who knew SpongeBob SquarePants casting director Donna Grillo. Her friend said to Grillo that Lawrence had "an interesting voice". Grillo invited her to audition and she got the role.<a href="#cite_note-91">[89]</a><a href="#cite_note-92">[90]</a> American actress Mary Jo Catlett,<a href="#cite_note-93">[91]</a> who is known for her live-action roles on television programs from the 1970s such as <a href="/wiki/Diff%27rent_Strokes" title="Diff'rent Strokes">Diff'rent Strokes</a> and <a href="/wiki/M*A*S*H_(TV_series)" title="M*A*S*H (TV series)">M*A*S*H</a> provides Mrs. Puff's voice.<a href="#cite_note-aboutgroup-88">[86]</a> As of 2017, voicing Mrs. Puff has become her only regular television role; Catlett described herself as "basically retired" in 2013, since she feels that voicing Mrs. Puff requires less preparation than her performances in person.<a href="#cite_note-94">[92]</a> Lori Alan voices Pearl Krabs.<a href="#cite_note-95">[93]</a> During her audition for the role, Alan was shown an early drawing of the characters and noted that Pearl was much larger than the rest of the cast. She decided to reflect the character's size in her voice by making it deep and full in tone. She aimed to make it invoke the sound of whales' low vocalizations while also sounding "spoiled and lovable."<a href="#cite_note-DCPt2-96">[94]</a> In an interview with <a href="/wiki/AfterBuzz_TV" title="AfterBuzz TV">AfterBuzz TV</a>, Alan said she knew Pearl "had to sound somewhat like a child," but needed "an abnormally large voice."<a href="#cite_note-97">[95]</a> In addition to the regular cast, episodes feature guest voices from many professions, including actors, athletes, authors, musicians, and artists.

Pittenger said, "Many neo-Luddites—er... I mean, many of my cohorts—don't like working on them, but I find them useful.

The first season's score primarily featured selections from the <a href="/wiki/APM_Music" title="APM Music">Associated Production Music Library</a>, which Carr has said includes "lots of great old corny Hawaiian music and big, full, dramatic orchestral scores."<a href="#cite_note-CarrHA-123">[121]</a> Rocko's Modern Life also used music from this library. It was Hillenburg's decision to adopt this approach. Carr has described the selections for SpongeBob SquarePants as being "more over-the-top" than those for Rocko's Modern Life.<a href="#cite_note-CarrHA-123">[121]</a> Hillenburg felt it was important for the series to develop its own music library, consisting of scores that could be reused and re-edited throughout the years. He wanted these scores to be composed by unknowns, and a group of twelve was assembled. They formed "The Sponge Divers Orchestra", which includes Carr and Belfer. The group went on to provide most of the music for later seasons, although Carr still draws from the Associated Production Music Library, as well as another library that he founded himself—Animation
