It's going to be a lot of work to fully capture the legacy of Stephen Hillenburg over the next few weeks. His animation and cartoons were revolutionary and deeply influential, but the generation that it influenced is yet to grow up and control all of media the way that the fans of other creators have. Three places however truly felt the influence of Steve Hillenburg. One is animation, where the unique strange and funny sense of humor of Spongebob -- with its unapologetic positivity beating out the cynisim of the day. One is memes, which while absolutely repitive and disposable, also represent just how deeply Spongebob Squarepants ingratiated itself into the current generation's consciousness. And another, after Genius.com collected examples of how rapper have referenced the cartoon, both generally and very very specifically (DoodleBob and the Hash Slinging Slasher!? Damn! That is SPECIFIC).

It's always exciting when Miguel Vasquez, on Twitter as @ItsMikeTheBoxer drops in to horrify us with another CGI model of what some of our favorite cartoon creations would look like in real life. Last time we spoke, he seared our eyelids and burnt our corneas with the sight of the deeply meat head looking Phineas and Ferb. Now, lo and behold he takes on one of the holy grails of animated heroes: Homer Simpson. Here we are with... real life Homer Simpson. Behold!
