Before SpongeBob SquarePants aired on Nickelodeon, SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenburg wrote a special comic titled The Intertidal Zone. Its narrator was named Bob the Sponge. Decades later, the blueprints for what would become SpongeBob SquarePants have finally been found and made publicly available online.

I think the one actual most important pieces of lost media was a book written by marquis de sade in 1789 which was found way back in 1904... If inventio fortunata (a 14th century travelogue book) gets found, it could possibly be the most important piece of lost media (this book influeced the making of world atlas way up to the 16th century)

You know what also got discovered? Rare, never-before-seen pilot episodes for Disney Television Animation productions, from familiar faces like The Ghost and Molly McGee to unproduced content like Thunderbeards and an anthology series which would've been a new era for Disney's characters. But most notably, the Gravity Falls "Next Time" reel is finally found in its entirety! Thus, ending Gravity Falls' final biggest lost media search after years of searching outside of a work print version surfacing. I have to say, it is the best, if the most craziest, lost media find I have ever seen.

Oh man, may sound silly but although I never met Stephen Hillenburg in person I miss him so much, he seemed so relaxed, friendly and a good person, I'm so happy to know that the creator of one of my favorite series did not have any dark controversies. He left a nice impression on everyone who met him in person and on everyone who met him through his work.

If I were a staff member on SpongeBob, I definitely would’ve loved to ask permission from Stephen Hillenburg’s estate to include a digital interactive version of The Intertidal Zone as a bonus feature on a future SpongeBob DVD, kind of like those interactive story books you’d commonly find on DVDs during your childhood and having the option to have it either read to you with Rocky’s and the other comic characters’ voices provided by the SpongeBob cast or read it yourself.
