well, at least Ishy wasn’t with Squidward, right?

Didn’t know that Ishy was a Sponge-ophile!

SpongeRobertaSquareKnickers…

You know it’s bad when even Lio’s going to have nightmares about it tonight…

I’m sure the complaints will start rolling into the newspapers, etc. But I have to support this one. Love who you want to love.

Meanwhile, poor Dad is going to be clueless about what is going on…

I thought Ishy was a boy…..oh.

Feelings seem mutual, so I am good with it.

Lio’s Squid has left him for Sponge Bob.

Careful Ishy, mind the spicules.

Don’t let half the “Heart of the City” commenters see this strip …

caught in the clinch..

Middle panel, hilarious

As backyard pools go, Lio’s is awesome!

this is hysterical. thanks, marK!

Don’t ever kiss Ishy. We know where those lips have been.

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somebody clean the pool!!!!!!!!!! :)

It was a love that was forbidden…Oh, just get over it, Lio!

Not too long ago, a radio host I listen to often in the morning made a joke about how the Spongebob cast are swingers, and today’s comic just confirmed his theory.

Yeah. That would scare me too….

Tough for anyone walking (or in this case swimming) in on such things.

Wait until Sandy hears about this…

You can understand the kid’s reaction. Sponge love…it’s a lot to absorb.
