"Slappy Daze"

Then, Slippy kisses Gary, resulting in SpongeBob being grossed out.

Slappy's color scheme from "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout"

• She reuses Slappy's color scheme from his first appearance, "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout."
• Slippy's color scheme is borrowed from Slappy which is also likely based on the character Dr. Lorre from the 1946 Merrie Melodies short Hair-Raising Hare. They both share bright blue eyes and neon yellow skin with red-orange lips.
• Slippy is currently the 4th known Peter Lorre fish. The previous Peter Lorre fish is the unnamed fish from the 1942 Merrie Melodies short Horton Hatches the Egg, and the Staring Herring from the 1962 animated television show The Beany and Cecil Show, as well as her masculine counterpart Slappy.
• According to the book The Animated Peter Lorre by Matthew Hahn, there are 700+ instances of a Peter Lorre likeness being used in animation.
• Peter Lorre caricatures occasionally have a red haired female companion/love interest; Slippy falls into this trope with Slappy. Other examples include such as Joel Ferret and Ms. Smith from The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, and Yetch and Francesca from Mad Monster Party?
• Slippy and Slappy are romantically involved, and so are their voice actors. Tom Kenny and Jill Talley are married in real life.
