...foibles defeats the very purpose of her creation. If Wolfe is siding with the reader in critiquing Charlotte, he shouldn’t present her as the objective witness to college pandemonium at the novel’s outset. In this case, Wolfe is acting as both creator and judge, which not only breaks up the narrative drive, but also results in heavy-handed moralizing and poor portrayal...

He may not have been the creator (which perhaps explains its less-overwhelming success), but he “learned a great deal about writing and producing animation for TV, and a lot of people came off of Rocko that work on SpongeBob,” he noted.
