No. The original Spongebob series is all about fun, friendship and adventures in Bikini Bottom. The 'Spongebob real story' is a completely different and often very dark and inappropriate take that has nothing to do with the original positive nature of the show.
I don't have any information about the 'Moe School 5' novel collection. However, if it was referring to the Moe School series, then the episode where Maya lost her ability might be referring to the chapter of the Moe School Holy War. In this story, Maya, as one of the guardians of Moe School, once had the ability to control the elements, but she lost this ability in a battle and was expelled from Moe School.
One way would be to introduce a new character who is interested in Spongebob. This would make Sandy realize her feelings for him. They could then have a series of events where they are forced to work together closely, like building a big project for the whole Bikini Bottom. During this process, they would start to notice the little things about each other that they like. Their friendship would slowly transform into a love story as they start to hold hands, exchange little gifts, and have secret looks at each other.
The truth could be its satirical take on modern society. Mr. Krabs represents the greedy capitalist, always focused on making money from the Krabby Patties. The show uses these characters to subtly comment on human behaviors like greed, naivete (as seen in Spongebob sometimes), and laziness (like Squidward). It wraps these commentaries in a fun, colorful, and child - friendly package that both kids and adults can enjoy and also learn from on a deeper level.
There's no precise count. SpongeBob comics have been published over the years by different publishers and in various editions, making it tough to determine an exact quantity.
SpongeBob is not based on real events. It's a product of the creators' imagination, designed to entertain and bring joy through its wacky and colorful world.
