I just realized that this scene in Chimps Ahoy has Spongebob's cheek and lip outline looking a little more thick than any other, post movie Markerbob? even if its for a single frame

Nice catch, although Patrick doesn't have that facial expression in markerbob.

I think the patchy segments and the actual episodes are produced separately. This is why in season 3 specials, the actual episodes have regular animation, but the animated scenes in the patchy segments are markerbob.

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

I wonder what would happen if a season 3 special had markerbob in the actual episode, I think the patchy segments would then have conventional animation.

Not just that but the placement of the face in general, and his head shape (minus the holes and wiggly outline)

Would you catagorize season 6 as normal animation, or modern animation?

I would say normal animation, at least early season 6.

I would say modern, all toon boom is modern to me

I would say modern, all toon boom is modern to me

Ehh, in that case I would say once they started using the Wacom Cintiqs

Even before then, every episode since late season 4 has the same color pallet.
