John Trabbic

**John Paul Trabbic III** is the creator and executive producer of *Middlemost Post*.

Trabbic previously worked on *Chozen* and *Archer* (plus one animated segment from *It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia*) at Floyd County Productions. He eventually moved to Nickelodeon and became a storyboard artist on *Pig Goat Banana Cricket*. Later, Trabbic began working on *SpongeBob SquarePants* as a storyboard director/artist and writer from Season 9b up until Season 13.

Around the time of *Middlemost Post*'s announcement, Brian Morante (another *SpongeBob* story artist) posted on Twitter that Trabbic had left the *SpongeBob* crew on June 16th. That very same day, *Middlemost Post* was formally announced.

For his efforts in the industry and work-from-home innovation on *Middlemost Post*, he received the honor of being one of 2020's "Animators to Watch" by Variety Magazine.

## Trivia

* Trabbic is the third *SpongeBob* storyboard artist after Erik Wiese (*The Mighty B!*) and C.H. Greenblatt (*Harvey Beaks*) to create a Nicktoon, and the fifth to create their own show if you count Greenblatt's own *Chowder* at Cartoon Network and the short-lived Disney series *Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer!* by Aaron Springer.
	+ Fellow crew member Brian Morante would follow in early 2021 with the announcement of *ZJ Sparkleton* on Nick.
* Trabbic wishes to incorporate elements of his life into the events of *Middlemost Post*, mainly based off of his former addiction to drugs and subsequent turning of his life around (for example, Parker's backstory is indirectly lifted from said drug experiences).
