Sherm Cohen

Paul Sherman "Sherm" Cohen (born January 19, 1965) is an American storyboard artist who has worked as a crew member on The Ren & Stimpy Show, Hey Arnold!, and SpongeBob SquarePants.
== Biography ==
During college, Sherm worked as a cartoonist for his local newspaper. He got his start in animation at Nickelodeon on The Ren & Stimpy Show as a character layout artist, followed by a three-year stint on Hey Arnold! as storyboard artist and director.
From 1996 to 2009, Sherm was a writer, artist, and letterer for Nickelodeon Magazine. He contributed dozens of comic strips and cover art featuring Nicktoons characters.
In early 1998, Sherm was invited by Stephen Hillenburg to be part of the original SpongeBob SquarePants crew. Sherm spent the first season on the show as storyboard artist, writer, and director. He then moved up to Storyboard Supervisor for the next three seasons. Sherm also wrote the "F.U.N." and "Texas" songs. His favorite character is Patrick.
Sherm was also lead storyboard artist and a character designer on The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Sherm described his time on SpongeBob to an interviewer by saying, "People often ask about what it was like working on SpongeBob, and it's hard to give an answer that really captures the moment."
Sherm left Nickelodeon after SpongeBob's fourth season, but he would return in 2013 to work as a sequence supervisor on The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water as sequence supervisor, and later returned to being storyboard supervisor on the show itself in January 2015.
Sherm is one of five supervising directors on the show, along with Dave Cunningham, Jeff DeGrandis, Marc Ceccarelli, and Vincent Waller. He has been in that position since 2016.
He also now works on The Patrick Star Show.
