Wishful thinking

This past week, Nickelodeon helped make Felix’s desire come true! While Bran Vandergrift, Storyboard Artist on Spongebob Squarepants, sketched Felix’s request to be a client at the Krusty Krab helping Plankton steal the Krabby Patty formula, all of his favourite Bikini Bottom friends recorded a special message for him.
