Clare O'Kane
Template:Bio Template:Person Clare O'Kane is a SpongeBob SquarePants crew member. She started working on the show in 2016, starting with the episode "Mall Girl Pearl." She was also an animation writer for some episodes.
Background
Clare was hired on the show through Kyle McCulloch, who was a neighbor of her then-boyfriend Josh Androsky. Kyle hired them as they were "the only young comic writers he knew." While she was excited to work on the show as a fan, she didn't enjoy her experience there, recalling "resistance from the old guard," as the crew didn't seem to be a fan of comic writers. Clare said that the animation writers and storyboard artists seemed to have their own way of doing things, coloring her experience as "feeling so bad." However, she also says it was "exciting and so intimidating, and [she] got to write two episodes on [her] own," being one of the few female writers in the series' history. She was let go from the series after McCulloch was fired as head writer, moving onto Shrill.[1]
