Originally titled "Critical Condition", this episode was the second bill on the Season One Halloween Show, paired with "Scaredy Pants". I storyboarded the first half of this eleven minute episode and my partner Chris Mitchell storyboarded the second half.

Original Episode Outline Pages
SpongeBob SquarePants is a storyboard-driven show (as opposed to a script-driven show like The Simpsons or Family Guy). Our two-person storyboard teams would receive a bullet point cover sheet and 2-3 more detailed outline pages. The final aired episode is markedly different from the original outline. That was the freedom that Stephen Hillenburg afforded his story teams.
