Ken Penders
Ken Penders is a writer and later director of the Fanboy and Chum Chum comics and most prominently; The Masturbation Diaries Series, where he tried to slowly make Sky Lark the main protagonist and Bob Bobowski the primary villain (he killed off Kyle). Tired of all the goofy shit the show is known for, he decided to take the comics into a paint by the numbers mythological narrative driven soap opera, full of consequence, death, and flawed heroes, also adding a shit ton of characters of questionable necessity. He was later replaced by the legendary Stephen Hillenburg who began writing the SpongeBob manga in 2006 in his spare time writing a few one-shot stories, but after seeing Penders ruin Nickelodeon as well as the SpongeBob IP, Ken Penders and his network of influence was fired in 2015, resulting in Hillenburg stepping in and rebranding Fanboy & Chum Chum Comics to CrösS;OVEr, however, Hillenburg would later state in an interview, "I would rather just draw things," showing massive creative burnout, this later lead to early cancellation of the SpongeBob Manga with a rushed ending citing Nickelodeon as a terrible place to work with overworked employees and long work hours.
He was also the one to make a whole schizo timeline and overarching plot to the whole series of stories, including the ones that are not meant to be connected with each other into a coherent narrative at all. Inspired after watching a bunch of YouTube videos by The Theorizer.
He had penned characters such as Smokey 2.22, Sky Lark, Ruby Rose (Sky's love interest), Dr. Hämsterviel, The Harlot of the Flies, and Timmy Huckerdoo just to name a few. He was gonna pitch a FB&CC movie to Nickelodeon, but they were not impressed and seeing his comics, quickly cancel the series. His reception is mixed, as Smokey 2.22 was his most popular character by fans. But he was also heavily criticized for Harlot of The Flies, being the most disgusting thing created for FB&CC, if not in all of media, that and how spends too much time going over the history and art of slushies and its importance to men like Chum Chum. Not only that, after The Arc series were cancelled, he made an arse of himself trying to take the copyright of the various types of slushies and other shit shown in the comic. Surprisingly he won due to Nickelodeon's own incompetency and kept his creations, however like the FineBros, he failed to copyright the concept of "slushies" in general. He is now writing his own comic, which is pretty much the same shit as before; writing about a knockoff Sky Lark saving the day and the struggling to maintain his marriage with his wife.
