'Although the character is named Squidward, there is dispute over whether he is an octopus or a squid due to conflicting statements between the show creator and Nickolodeon's official website. creator Stephen Hillenburg named him as such since the name Octoward failed to "sound catchy", and animated him with six tentacles as opposed to eight since he found the latter made the character's animation "look bulky". The name, Squidward, is derived from the English name, Edward.' |
