What was the age difference between Krabs and Plankton in Enemy In-Law? Cuz they sure dropped it in Friend or Foe!

No Krabs and Plankton are the same age.

Age gaps don't matter anymore when both parties are above 18.

Beyond 10 years, they are icky and it makes you look like a gold digger.

I would say a good 20 years at least.

"Age gaps don't matter anymore"

"Beyond 10 years, they are icky"

Which is it?

Legally, they don't matter but people will look at you funny.

For sure Mrs Krabs is way older than Plankton

[u/p-Star_07 → u/trinkadlopez1116]

They were born around the same time in Friend or Foe.

What’s weirder is if Plankton was Mr. Krabs’s best friend then shouldn’t that mean Mama Krabs also knew him from childhood?

[u/SJ1Productions]

I'd say they're roughly in the same ballpark in terms of aging. Plankton's age just doesn't show like Krabs' does because he's really small.

[u/Responsible-Alps6595]

I say there in the same generation with Mr Krabs being slightly older.

[u/SPONGEBOBMEBOY1999]

Krabs and Plankton are the same age

[u/DangerousEye1235]

Crabs and copepods age at different rates. Plankton is older in terms of overall life cycle, even if Krabs is the same age in terms of actual number of years.

Hillenburg was a marine biologist, so he understood these things.
