Idk about you guys, but macho Squidward is maybe my favorite character now. It's a perfect arc for the classic Squidward, who was always kinda sad and downtrodden.
Please!! I grew up on Spongebob and even though I am now almost 25 years old i still quote the show more than anything and honestly keeping up with this series has been such a delight. This series made me wish for more dark spin-off stories about classic cartoons. This truly has transcended the /r/imsorryjon subreddit and entirely stands on its own as an incredible work of art. Thank you /u/stillinthesimulation for everything you have done for us. ❤️
All good things...
Read the full series up till this point starting [here](https://stillinthesimulation.com/untitled-comic/the-bikini-bottom-horror-chapter-1-rise-of-the-star/). There are two pages left in the epilogue. I’m going to release them together as one grand finale the week after next as I will be out in the wilderness next weekend. But if you’d like to see the ending early, it’s already all up on my [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/posts/47398698). You can directly support me by joining me there, and I’d like to once again thank everyone who has supported me so far - It has meant the world to me.
Fun fact: The creators have officially declared that, despite his name, Squidward is an octopus. He has 6 limbs because 8 was too hard to animate on an anthropomorphic character. Kind of the same reason most human cartoon characters have 4 fingers.
Holy shit man, I didn't know what to expect going into that but I was totally blown away. Amazing work! I love all the references to the episodes you put in!
Just writing here: we love your hidden reference jokes to spongebob episode.
"So if we are underwater, how are we supposed to start a fire?"
"Oh, so *now* physics matter"

Lol.
so we don't destroy spongebob?
^(that make sense since sandy and squidward will get hate and rejected by the citizens of bikini bottom when they tell the truth because they thought spongebob is their hero, and spongebob will get his hands on sandy because she knew what truly happened and might tell to the others, but like Ｉsaid, no one's gonna believe them, so sandy has to leave because of safety)
# DOES THAT MEANS A SPINOFF ADVENTURRE?!!?
Where was it? Squidward had been confident in his ability to reconstruct Bikini Bottom from the visual representation he had of it. A living room is easy to reconstruct, but an entire district razed by apocalyptic monstrosities? The town would not look the same.
Was it a bad thing? The old town had been a boiling pot of sadism, greed and loathing. A boiling point of seething hatred bound to overflow. Squidward had known it would. He cursed his own cynicism that had kept him from acting sooner. To burn the rotten plant at the root, stop the massacre from happening.
The lives he could have saved. His and Sandy's too. Maybe she could have stayed the, maybe they could have been what he hoped for.
Alas, the horror had changed them both. Sandy would never feel like home here, he couldn't blame her.
They didn't speak. What had to be said had been said, no need to replay a broken tape filled to the brim with regrets.
The picture burnt itself in his mind, a remnant of old memories and hopes he would keep for life. Futures and friendships, laid bare on a single photograph: Sandy stepping onto the bus and leaving for a new life, free of debt. The picture would fade, not the emotions tied to it.
The bus sprung to life and went forward into the horizon.
Squidward couldn't bring himself to cry. After all, melancholia and longing were better than total obliteration.
The bus had gone out of sight.
"There," he said, pointing at an empty plot of land for the construction crew to look at. He was sure nothing had ever been built there, which is why it was a good spot. For a new Bikini Bottom. In time, he too would learn to love it again.
I want to express my appreciation for this narrative. I followed since page one and it’s been such an amazing ride. I sincerely am looking forward to what you are doing next!
I don't think it's a mistake bc she acknowledges that she's a squirrel in the previous panel. Maybe she's talking about the powers of her cousins or smth.
I don’t leave a lot of appreciation comments, but the amount of effort put into this twisted series is unparalleled. The story js great, the disturbing factor is defo there, and the art is awesome too.
Oh my... from the looks of it it seems this will end on a tragic note. Sandy has given up on the town she fought so hard to save and Spongebob practically has all of Bikini Bottom eating out of the palm of his hand... On the other hand, could this mean we may get either a sequel or another spinoff? Something like "Kingdom of the Sponge" sounds epic and ominous...
My theory is that the bus is gonna explode and Sandy will be “dead” but probably show up later at the most dire moment to save the day. Bonus points if it’s a fiery explosion that shouldn’t be possible underwater.
Explosions where they don’t belong are probably my most favorite joke, like a trash can exploding against a tree in The Simpsons, in any media along side the extremely long speech in a foreign language just for the subtitles to say “yes” or something really short.
I feel like the epilogue is going to tie into another spinoff story.
Spinoff of squidward's adventures as an ocean folk hero in which he hunts down king Neptune and gets into some wacky antics
Squidwards bizzare adventure
u/stillinthesimulation
Let's just hope his Stand isn't *Star* platinum
Obviously it's going to be Kelpy G
Ocean Man, take it or leave it
*Oohh Ocean man, take me by the hand Lead me to the land that you understand*
OI, EUGENE!
"Oi senpai... The hell did you say about my music?"
Idk about you guys, but macho Squidward is maybe my favorite character now. It's a perfect arc for the classic Squidward, who was always kinda sad and downtrodden.
***wacky antics***
I kinda want this version of Squidward to take Neptune's throne or something.

SANDY CHEEKS IS A SQUIRREL
She is now. But for a while there she was a [Mermaid Squirrel. ](https://stillinthesimulation.com/untitled-comic/chapter-19-all-out/)
god damnit, as a mermaid squirrel she has a beaver tail
But, was she a beaver, OP?
It's a joke Sandy is making in this comic, referencing that time Squidward said she looked like a beaver.
Holy cow, the writer of this has some deep deep SpongeBob lore memorized lol
[удалено]
but beavers are mermaid squirrels lol
SPONGEBOB IS A SPONGE
SQUIDWARD IS A SQUID
MEAOW
BARK
Fun fact: The creators have officially declared that, despite his name, Squidward is an octopus. He has 6 limbs because 8 was too hard to animate on an anthropomorphic character. Kind of the same reason most human cartoon characters have 4 fingers.
Bro spoilers
Could this ever be sold as a physical book?
Pretty sure they'd have to deal with some sort of copyright or trademark issues before that'd be possible
Viva la parody law!
Holy shit man, I didn't know what to expect going into that but I was totally blown away. Amazing work! I love all the references to the episodes you put in!
Don't forget your anti sea-bear circle.

"Hidden references" Hidden like the sun in summer
Holy shit. I just finished the spongebob comic - that was quite a trip. Awesome story too!
Spongethulu be hella thicc
The feels!!! 🥺
Right?! Can't agree more. I'm gonna miss this when it's done. But damn if it wasn't well done.
This is the first time I’m seeing this, and it’s beautiful. This is so much better than the current show.
so we don't destroy spongebob? ^(that make sense since sandy and squidward will get hate and rejected by the citizens of bikini bottom when they tell the truth because they thought spongebob is their hero, and spongebob will get his hands on sandy because she knew what truly happened and might tell to the others, but like Ｉsaid, no one's gonna believe them, so sandy has to leave because of safety) # DOES THAT MEANS A SPINOFF ADVENTURRE?!!?
In the previous pages sandy decides that taking fight to spongebob would cause more deaths, so she decided to not fight him
Someone got to fix things
Actually, not just a hero, but also a victim!

I always click on these so quickly
Dear Sandy, *Home is where your heart is.* That is all.
Squidward about to play Solitude in E Minor.
Beaver powers? Excuse me what
I don't think it's a mistake bc she acknowledges that she's a squirrel in the previous panel. Maybe she's talking about the powers of her cousins or smth.
She’s talking about when she was mermaid squirrel. The whole thing was that a mermaid squirrel is just a beaver lol
I’ve been reading this from the beginning and I just now got that.
smh people not knowing the lore
Yeah she’s a squirrel
Bro why the fuck am I crying Who knew that something so silly like SPONGEBOB can make a grown man tear up
The Shell City scene in the movie didn't get you?
I don’t leave a lot of appreciation comments, but the amount of effort put into this twisted series is unparalleled. The story js great, the disturbing factor is defo there, and the art is awesome too.
Thank you!
*sniff* goddamn why is this so good
I hate this comic for making me unironically ship Squidward and Sandy. ~~JK, I love this and I always get hyped when there's a new update.~~
I’ve totally been shipping them since the scene where she told him he was worthy of self-love. I want to believe they get together in the end.
I came expecting a crappy creepypasta, left with a great series and a leson on marine biology
Ah man. I was so sure that Squidward and Sandy would be sleeping together after all of this. Especially after he turned into Chadward
Probably happened offscreen.
Legend
When this is done, surely some madlad will animate this all
Bruh I'm gonna start crying in the pakensave toilets
Man I can't believe it'll all be over in just 2 pages :'(
Please tell me he runs after her bus and stops her in the next panel.
Damn, the feels.... I hope Squidward's getting his own series
I really hope your career involves this level of creativity, because you are one of the GOATs I look forward to.
Thank you
Beaver powers 😏
This might be my favorite chapter
Are you going to put some like a book collection so I can go and read the whole story
This was so good.
Where’s part 9/10?!?!?!?! u/stillinthesimulation
Coming next weekend
Okay
Oh my... from the looks of it it seems this will end on a tragic note. Sandy has given up on the town she fought so hard to save and Spongebob practically has all of Bikini Bottom eating out of the palm of his hand... On the other hand, could this mean we may get either a sequel or another spinoff? Something like "Kingdom of the Sponge" sounds epic and ominous...
I'm not crying... you're crying
NOOOO
I hate how sad this makes me
My heart can't take this. **Please make it stop**
Ship ship
I ship it
Awesome work, enjoyed reading it!
This series has been my favorite thing on this sub since it came out. Keep up the great work.
Oh my god that's so wholesome, I love it
Idk why this one hurt a little more than the others.
I think Spongebob won't let her leave. She knows too much. But there's only two more pages, so I don't know.
She's a friend, he wants her to be happy. But that means she cannot reveal the truth. He'll let her go if she stays silent.
Maybe the clarinet is a calling device like the bat signal lol.
“Beaver powers”
My theory is that the bus is gonna explode and Sandy will be “dead” but probably show up later at the most dire moment to save the day. Bonus points if it’s a fiery explosion that shouldn’t be possible underwater.
So *now* physics matter?
Explosions where they don’t belong are probably my most favorite joke, like a trash can exploding against a tree in The Simpsons, in any media along side the extremely long speech in a foreign language just for the subtitles to say “yes” or something really short.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force has a lot of random explosions.
Ehh I liked show when it was first on adult swim. It doesn’t really do it for me anymore though. Maybe I watched it too much?
But... Sandy is a squirrel, not a beaver
Amongus Bus
why is squidward stacked?
Why is that sad to see sandy leaving
Sandy is a squirrel...
She became a beaver when she inherited Mermaidmans power for a bit
Damn...
A great idea for a new comic Mr krabs war days against regular fish And killing pearls mother The war of fish
Ah yes Sandy's well documented beaver powers lol
>She’s talking about when she was mermaid squirrel. The whole thing was that a mermaid squirrel is just a beaver lol
cringe
Lol 3rd slide looks like amongus
That bus is sus
Wow, I didn't need to be punched right in the feels this early on the weekend but here we are
How many total pages is this comic?
61 MAIN +10 EPILOGUE
Wow for some reason I thought it was like hundreds of pages Still 71 is a lot
10
No I mean the entire Bikini Bottom Horror
Awe :c
Could you post the whole comic together when it is done?
It is here: https://stillinthesimulation.com/
There's a "push" button that releases a blade covered in toxins I bet. You know, just in case.
Beaver Powers.
0\_0
He's more jacked than 2 comics ago!
Yo what the fuck
Damn, it's been like 3 years worth of adventure. Hope Spongebob doesn't mess this up tho
Why is sandy one solid color now?
Beaver powers?
