Hillenburg died Monday of Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as ALS, the cable net work said in a statement. He was 57. Hillenburg had announced he had the disease in March 2017. His death comes just weeks after the passing of another cartoon hero in Marvel creator Stan Lee. An Oklahoma native with a love of both drawing and marine biology, Hillenburg conceived, wrote, produced and directed the ani mated series that began in 1999 and went on to spawn hundreds of episodes, movies and a Broadway show. “He was a beloved friend and long-time creative partner to everyone at Nickel odeon, and our hearts go out to his entire family,” Nickelodeon’s statement said. “Steve imbued ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ with a unique sense of humor and inno cence that has brought joy to generations of kids and families everywhere. His utterly original characters and the world of Bikini Bottom will long stand as a reminder of the value of optimism, friendship and the limit less power of imagination.” The absurdly jolly SpongeBob, his star fish sidekick Patrick, and a vast cast of oce anic creatures quickly appealed to college kids and parents as much as it did kids. “The fact that it’s undersea and isolated from our world helps the characters main tain their own culture,” Hillenburg told The Associated Press in 2001. “The essence of the show is that SpongeBob is an innocent in a world of jaded characters. The rest is absurd packaging.” Born at his father’s army post in Law- ton, Oklahoma, Hillenburg graduated from Humboldt State University in California in 1984 with a degree in natural resource planning with an emphasis on marine resources, and went on to teach marine biology at the Orange County Marine Institute. He shifted to drawing and earned a master of fine arts degree in animation from the California Insti tute of the Arts in 1992. That same year he created an animated short called “Wormholes” that won festival plaudits and helped land him a job on the Nickelodeon show “Rocko’s Modern Life,” where he worked from 1993 to 1996 before he began to build SpongeBob’s undersea world of Bikini Bottom, which showed off his knowledge of marine life and willing ness to throw all the details out the window. “We know that fish don’t walk,” he told the AP, “and that there is no organized com munity with roads, where cars are really boats. And if you know much about sponges, you know that living sponges aren’t square.” Hillenburg is survived by his wife of 20 years Karen Hillenburg, son Clay, mother Nancy Hillenburg, and a brother, Brian Kelly Hillenburg.

SINGLE COPY The Times is available at retail stores, newspaper racks and at The Times for $1.00 Mon.-Sat. and $2.00 on Sun. ARIES (March 21 -April 19). You’re not sure why you feel the way you do, but you can be sure that there’s a good reason. There’s a gift in these feelings that will be presented as you heed them or explore them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re brilliantly intuitive, but smart to keep it to yourself today. While your best guess might be correct, it won’t be a good idea to share the speculation, certainly not publicly, and especially not in writing. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The giving you do will be bet ter when there’s no price tag involved. Here’s the best gift: Tell someone the story of where your love started and how it grows. There’s no story sweeter. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ask for it in writing. Start a paper trail. Take a picture. You trust people, but everyone behaves better when the systems of ac countabilities are obviously in place. Records matter. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The expected norms and safely appropriate behaviors aren’t usually high on your list of fun things to adhere to, but today they’ll give you a thrill anyway. You’ll approach them as an art ist and a diplomat to excellent effect. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Close your eyes and imagine the best version of you. This is who you really are. Now find the scissors (they are in the drawer behind your mind’s eye) and cut ties with any part of you that opposes the vision. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). The actions you take every day are adding up and you’ll soon open your bloom to the sun, experiencing life in the way you feel you were meant to. It takes time though. Keep working and be patient. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your life is an expression of your soul. When you align with that idea, making a good im pression seems a little beside the point, though it might hap pen anyway, quite by accident. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You understand your role better than ever. Because you know what it feels like to get to the place where a sense of appre ciation, excitement and pride kick in, you’ll find it impossible to stop before you get there. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The sunrise is a spectacle ex traordinaire that most people miss on the daily. While we need the sun very much, our lives orbit around other things. Something magical will hap pen when you put a higher priority on beauty. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Once you figure out that the re mote control you hold doesn’t go to the device you’re point ing it at, you set it down and go looking for the right controller. Letting go doesn’t take cour age; it takes intelligence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) It is possible for a person to change your energy just by existing in the vicinity. It’s why spiritual protection is just as important for you as a jacket or umbrella when it’s cold out.
