In defense of Porous Robert

Spongebob is unceasingly loyal to his friends, always happy no 
matter what curses life throws at him, gets naive pleasure out of 
life, has an affinity with the natural world around him (especially 
jellyfish), makes an art out of a seemingly mindless job (he's a 
burger chef), has unique fashion flare, and makes the lives of those 
he touches (either in the cartoon or IRL) happier.

I'd be surprised if Daniel or Emma came up with more consistently 
public spirited mentors than Spongebob.

Cheers,

Dumbledad

PS My kids (8 & 10) both love Spongebob so I felt I had to leap to 
his defense.
