It started innocently enough – Gumby and SpongeBob used to be good friends. Some comment was made about fitting a square peg into a round hole. This led to an innocent comment by Gumby that the round hole, having a curved edge, was better than the square peg. SpongeBob SquarePants took exception to this stating that straight squared edges were nature’s perfect shape.Well, with Gumby and SpongeBob both having tremendous egos…one thing led to another. It quickly surpassed personal opinions to academic arguments, each bringing in engineering professors and experts to state their case of the perfect shape. It escalated to a blood feud, each perceiving himself to have been attacked, insulted and wronged by the other.
Sometimes, Gumby gets so mad he could spit, if he were able to spit. SpongeBob, on the other hand, is easily frightened. While resilient, he is easily squeezed into other shapes and can be torn. Actually, he’s quite a mamby pamby. And – to be perfectly honest – who can take a sponge seriously.
Kick him in his square pants Gumby!
