SPONGEBOB COMICS ANNUAL GIANT SWIMTACULAR (2013)

"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!"

"It's a selection of soggy sword-and/or-sorcery sagas by some of comics' finest creators! In 'Krill the Conqueror' by Braden Lamb & Shelly Paroline (Adventure Time), a tiny barbarian pest vows to retake his vermin people's lost kingdom, the Krusty Krab - but why is SpongeBob helping him? Next in 'The Scheme of the Sinister Submersible,' Mermaid Man-armed only with lame party tricks-must rescue that famous aquatic wizard the Divining Diver from the depths of Damp Dimension! Then read along with Patrick and SpongeBob as they make their way through a Dangers & Dead Ends Pick-Your-Own-Predicament book - 'The Monster Boat of Frighfulness!' All this brought to you wrapped in a Jacob Chabot cover that's a veritable handbook of advanced hilarity!"
