United Plankton Pictures is taking an extended shore leave, so #85 will be our last for a while. For now we present our 7th annual October assemblage of spooky submerged stories! In “Creature from Goo Lagoon,” Graham Annable (Grickle, Boxtrolls, Puzzle Agent) writes and draws the tale of a lonely monster…who makes the mistake of kidnapping Patrick to keep him company! Then, in “Dutchman Went Down to Bikini Bottom,” Derek Drymon (Adventure Time, SpongeBob SquarePants Movie) and Jacob Chabot (Deadpool Team-Up, Mighty Skullboy Army) team to show how even selling his soul can’t help Squidward’s clarinet playing. And Bob Flynn (Bravest Warriors) brings vampires to Bikini Bottom. All this plus facts about the deepest depths of the sea—by Maris Wicks (The Human Body Show) and SpongeFunnies by James Kochalka (Glorkian Warrior).

“Classics Ahoy!” Why are SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs starring in a Bikini Bottom mashup of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Treasure Island, Moby-Dick, and more maritime masterpieces? It’s simple: The dread Censor Ship has ordered SpongeBob Comics’ creative crew, the United Plankton pirates, to clean up their act—OR WALK THE PLANK! Henceforth, all SpongeBob Comics must be educational and literary, to boot! But as SpongeBob and friends go on their highfalutin’ quest through a bunch of literary rip-offs—er, homages, the true spirit of SpongeBob sneaks its way into the narrative—in the form of Patrick and SpongeBob’s new silly Squishy Dance! Nautical nonsense and snooty literature fight for control of the comic…and for the very lives of the United Plankton crew! And after the epic: 4-pinups by R. Sikoryak (The Unquotable Trump!) featuring SpongeBob and friends as the stars of Shakespeare’s greatest plays!
