If we had modern markerbob, it would look like this;

also one thing with cubebob (normal season 2-3 art) when he is not smiling, his teeth don't show

no, there are markerbob episodes that do this too:

I love how this image looks like it came from early season 2 cuz of the thick inside outlines, including his cheeks and bottom lip

The color palette gives it away that it's from season five.

you should call other characters styles like (markertrick or markercheeks)

One some copies of the Lost Matress the copyright date is 2005, and on others the date is 2004. It has to be 2004, there's no way it was made in 2005, it looks way too similar to season 3.

Still looks like normal Squidward. Markersquid has a longer head, more oblong eyes, and half of his face is usually covered by his nose.
