In fact, apparently, they used to put it to the new animators who entered the studio as a hazing.

And <strong>it seems that Bikini Bottom lives up to its name<\/strong>: in the beginning, at the end of the series&#8217; seasons, the storyboarders used various post-its, technical scripts and useless papers to draw <strong>SpongeBob<\/strong>, Mr. Krabs and company having all kinds of sexual relations. The idea was simple: to make each other laugh with absurd ideas, such as Bob having a flute-shaped genitalia or Squidward with a phallic nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously, the idea was that no one would see this, so Sam Henderson, who was nominated for an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/nominations-emmy-awards-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Emmy <\/a><\/strong>for the series in 2003, <strong>compiled all the drawings <\/strong>into a book called &#8216;Behind Closed Doors: Horrible, Disgusting, Vile, Disgusting, Inapparate and Unmodest Drawings by the Crew of a Popular Cartoon Series&#8217;. He handed out a copy (well, more like a spiral notebook) to everyone, without giving real names in case it ever came to light, and that was the last anyone heard of it, a memory from another era that lived on as a myth among fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Darkest SpongeBob Lost Media, Found [Behind Closed Doors]\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mo1xHGhgjZQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/what-was-the-star-wars-kid-one-of-the-first-internet-memes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">youtuber<\/a><\/strong> LSupersonicQ has obtained a copy and some of the drawings are available &#8211; where else &#8211; in the real Library of Digital Babylon, the Internet Archive.
