He is an arrogant creative person and musician, and his favorite hobbies are painting self-portraits and playing the clarinet.
Even though Squidward'south proper noun contains the discussion "squid," he is an octopus, not a squid, as confirmed in many interviews and episodes.[12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] He has the traits of an octopus—a round bulbous head and rectangular pupils—while a squid has a long triangular head and round eyes, dissimilar Squidward. Squids have ten tentacles, many more than Squidward. The series' animators believed that giving him eight limbs would exist too burdensome and difficult to animate, which is why he is usually depicted with vi limbs.

One day, he became part of the Krusty Krab along with Jim.[20] On the day Jim quit, Squidward spoke with him and instantly lost his long blond hair, much to his dismay. Later on, at an unknown point of his life, he would go the neighbour of his erstwhile Camp mates SpongeBob and Patrick..[21] Becoming neighbours with SpongeBob and Patrick became a source of stress for Squidward on many occasions, often being annoyed or inadvertently hurt past them. For case, in "Frankendoodle", SpongeBob innocently made DoodleBob to play a prank on Squidward. This backfired when the drawing beat Squidward up instead.[22] At ane indicate, Squidward tried to move out of his house out of intolerance for his neighbors, but the existent estate amanuensis refused to sell his domicile on account of SpongeBob and Patrick stealing his identity and deceiving her.[nine]
At one signal, he moved out of Bikini Bottom and into Tentacle Acres, a boondocks filled with his peers, other octopuses who share his tastes and outlook on life.

Clarification
Concept art for Squidward as Sour Annotation, depicting him as a realistic giant Pacific octopus.
Squidward is a PMS 333 colored octopus with purple suction cups at the finish of his tentacles. Squidward has six limbs in total, ii being arms, and four being legs, which tend to make the shape of a plus sign when he stands in place. Whenever he walks, his suction cups stick to the floor, meaning that he walks with a distinct squelching dissonance. Squidward has a large cranium with eight spots on the top of it. He besides has a nasal voice, a skinny body, a big droopy olfactory organ, a wide rima oris, and xanthous eyes with rectangular maroon irises. When he laughs, his nose appears to debunk and inflate repeatedly (in earlier episodes, this was accompanied with a sound consequence.) He wears a brown polo t-shirt.
Squidward is usually bald, simply his natural hair color is blond. In the episode "The Original Fry Cook," information technology is shown that Squidward had long blond hair when he was young, but he lost it all afterwards Jim left the Krusty Krab. His blond hair is also seen in the catastrophe of "Squidward'south Sick Daze."
Squidward with his real-life octopus counterpart, as seen in the book Underwater Friends.
His color has inverse slightly throughout the series. While he is shown to be PMS 332 in earlier episodes (nigh noticeable in "Help Wanted"), he changes to PMS 333 in later on episodes.
In the episode "Sandy's Rocket," Squidward is shown to exist wearing an old version of his nightwear. Information technology is pink with magenta-colored flowers on it. In newer episodes such as "Sentimental Sponge," Squidward is seen wearing his real nightgown. In this episode, he refers to it as a "nightshirt." It is a light purple nightgown that comes with a matching nightcap. Information technology is the third version of his nightwear. The 2nd version appears in "Employee of the Month" and "Funny Pants."
Squidward'south toenails announced in the episodes "House Fancy," "Behemothic Squidward," and "Mermaid Pants."
It is shown in the episode "Message Board" that Squidward has a tattoo of a cherry-red rose on his right arm.
In the episode "Jolly Lodgers" Squidward wore a pink Hawaiian shirt before staying in Hotel Halibut to become some peace and serenity. He later wears orange and ruby-red trunks, while he goes swimming, and when he enters the Jellyfishing Convention.
In various spin-off media, he's slightly redesigned. In Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, he looks more often than not the same as the original, only wears a red cap and a cherry-red handkerchief. In The Patrick Star Bear witness, he has 3 pimples on his olfactory organ, and his shirt's collar and sleeves are yellow.
Personality
Squidward is considered rude, stubborn, bossy, grumpy, bad-tempered, egotistical, miserable, sarcastic, apathetic, pessimistic, hypocritical, and sometimes sadistic, but this tin can be explained by his work ethic. He views the world in such a negative light that he is rarely seen greeting anyone with a smile. He hates his job at the Krusty Krab and is ofttimes seen sleeping or reading on the task instead of working. Despite his temper, he is yet one of the most intelligent and educated characters. He has a cynical attitude, a grandiose sense of self, and sees others as uncivilized morons while failing to accept his shortcomings. Squidward sees himself as misunderstood and unappreciated, blaming society for his failures.
He is annoyingly pretentious in his pursuit of fame and is either unwilling or unable to spot talent and creativity, fifty-fifty belittling it. He lauds "cultivated gustation" and accepted standards. In the episode "Artist Unknown," he insists that his student SpongeBob "show his method," even when it is painfully clear that SpongeBob has artistic genius. Furthermore, Squidward takes credit for creating the David statue when SpongeBob is the actual creator. His motive was to impress the fine art appraiser. In the episode "Bubblestand," he belittles SpongeBob's chimera blowing.
Squidward is also jealous of those who are more artistic or talented than he is, for case, Incidental 41, Patrick Star, Mr. Krabs, Squilliam Fancyson, and fifty-fifty the puppet Mini Squidward. In "Slimy Dancing," Squidward cheats during the dance show by hiding in SpongeBob's torso and using the latter'south concrete identity and talents to win the trophy. He attempts to steal the dance trophy after being criticized past the judges, just to exist thrown out by the security. In "Professor Squidward," Squidward impersonates Squilliam Fancyson while exercising his power as a music teacher, preceding his abort by the police. In "Sold!," after knowing that SpongeBob and Patrick think Nick Fishkins has bought their homes. Squidward lies that a 14-member family unit has moved into SpongeBob's pineapple and an 8-member rock band with several instruments has moved into Patrick's rock. When SpongeBob and Patrick come to their one-time houses, he puts on outfits to friction match the characters that he made upwards.
Squidward is generally portrayed as an overall failure. His musical skills with the clarinet are generally portrayed as sub-par, from mediocre to excruciatingly horrible. In "Sweetness and Sour Squid," Squidward's disastrous clarinet playing creates a mass noise disturbance throughout the town, prompting the regime' arrival. Withal, at that place have been numerous exceptions - such as in "Bubblestand" and "Hello Bikini Bottom!" - where he plays nicely. At the end of "Christmas Who?," he manages to play great with the wooden clarinet SpongeBob carved for him. In "That'south No Lady," he manages to play a nice tune to woo "Patricia." Too, in "All-time Solar day Ever," he even has a concert where he plays beautifully and receives thunderous applause from the audience. SpongeBob was even on the VIP list for it. It seems that he is capable of playing the clarinet very well by providing a total effort. He plays well enough in "Hello Bikini Bottom!" for a musical manager to offer him and SpongeBob a job. He also - if the thespian plays well - plays well in the Stone Bottom mini-game in Lights, Camera, Pants!, along with Beats Me. He is also first-chair in the Bikini Bottom Orchestra.[26]
He often lets this success get to his caput. In "Skill Crane," Squidward's final success in winning from the toy claw motorcar goes to his head and influences him to use a construction crane; his out-of-control usage of said crane leads to the demolition of the future site of a mall, and eventually the Krusty Krab. In "Snowball Consequence" after rain SpongeBob and Patrick with snowballs, he takes the snowball fight too far and builds a massive Fort and throws a bunch of snowballs, believing he was dominating the snowball fight.
His overall creative style is shown to be abstract and overly sophisticated, and his works are commonly panned by his audiences. His failure is shown to be due to his bad taste and arrogance, rather than a genuine lack of talent. The entirety of his art centers on himself, apparently holding his very existence to exist an creative wonder and never even considers depicting anything else. In the episode "One Krabs Trash," Squidward is shown bringing flowers to a gravestone reading "Here Lies Squidward's Hopes and Dreams."
Because of this, he is portrayed to be the failure of an artist. In "Out of the Picture" an art dealer mentions that none of Squidward's artwork will e'er have any monetary value unless he was "Out of the film." In "The Googly Artiste" When Squidward showed an fine art dealer ane of his artistic creations, the art dealer was repulsed by information technology. In "Can You lot Spare a Dime?" When Squidward went homeless after quitting his job, he mentions that no 1 would have his paintings and then he had to consume them. Yet in "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost" he has shown to make practiced art in some artistic mediums, including wax-sculpting, pottery, and even paintings, but gets no recognition for them. Despite his lack of success, Squidward is tireless in his pursuit of creative accomplishment. Squidward does have artistic talent, simply he'south just as well lazy and big-headed to practice.
In "Dunces and Dragons," Squidly, Squidward's medieval ancestor, vowed that if he could not larn to play the clarinet correctly, his 7th great-grandson would be cursed tenfold. In "Squilliam Returns," Squilliam mentions that Squidward was voted "Most Likely to Suck Eggs" in high school.
Given how Squidward is depicted as a loser in near regards, information technology is likely that his narcissism is a defense mechanism to make him experience as if he has some form of self-worth. Outwardly, he shows signs of modest success: he lives in a big, well-tended business firm, with no signs of slothfulness, and finds plenty of time to lead an active, involved life.
Squidward is well-educated and knows his history. He is intelligent and has a lot of worldly noesis, peculiarly compared to those of SpongeBob and Patrick. Squidward is also a skilled commuter, as he manages to drive well-nigh everything, from a traditional wheel, a boat, car, and fifty-fifty a tractor.
Squidward sleeping at work.
When he is at the Krusty Krab, he is a lazy, sloppy, somewhat incompetent employee who has an intense dislike of the restaurant and its management, which is best exemplified in the episode "Krusty Krab Training Video." He is considered "inattentive, impatient," with "a glazed look in the eye." In episodes where Squidward is put behind the grill whenever SpongeBob is missing, he has shown himself to be an incompetent fry cook, often burning the nutrient instead of cooking it, which affects the health of its consumers. This is shown in "Pickles," "Hooky," and "SpongeBob LongPants." In "Chum Fricassee," it is revealed past Grandma Tentacles that Squidward took shortcuts and undercooked her fricassee, thus poisoning the customers, since he all he cared nigh was the fame, rather than actual results of the cooking. In "Accidents Will Happen," he fakes his injury and lies to Mr. Krabs for the sole purpose of seeking sympathy and having an excuse to non work. He does this over again in "Squiditis," where he lies to Mr. Krabs nigh having the eponymous disease to take a mean solar day off. In the episode "Squid on Strike," he organizes a worker's strike at the Krusty Krab. He even destroys the Krusty Krab, although indirectly and accidentally.
However, despite his hatred for his job and the constant corruption and misfortune from having it, he very rarely ever quits and never considers looking for improve employment. He puts up with it out of pure laziness and stubborn pride out of the fact that he expects to let benefits come to him rather than trying, such as in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Male child Five" and "New Foliage" when Mr. Krabs threatens to fire him and Squidward lets this threaten him to get forth with what he'southward getting dragged into against his volition.
It is revealed in a flashback of "The Original Fry Melt" that he insists on remaining at the Krusty Krab until his clarinet career pays off, even though information technology never does. Other examples include "Can You Spare a Dime?," in which he quits the Krusty Krab and becomes homeless due to non finding a new job. Subsequently being taken in by SpongeBob, Squidward becomes a leech and consistently and deliberately ignores SpongeBob's hints for him to at least endeavor to look for a new job. In "Banned in Bikini Lesser," subsequently the Krusty Krab is closed down, rather than trying to search for a new job, he waits effectually with SpongeBob watching Mr. Krabs wallow in depression. In "Goodbye, Krabby Patty," after getting officially fired from the Krusty Krab, Squidward takes pettiness to this but sees this as an opportunity to follow his dreams, only to find out that he needs better feel than 17 years every bit a cashier. Yet rather than trying to search for a meliorate chore, he begs for SpongeBob to help him get employed at the Krusty Krab Museum. The most recent example is "The Check-Upward" when a nurse threatens to have the Krusty Krab permanently closed, Squidward ends upward deciding to aid SpongeBob rather than ditching to permit him do it himself, stating that if the Krusty Krab is closed down, he would "have to go a real chore."
Every bit it all turns out, one of the reasons why Squidward is often arrogant and bad-tempered, especially the fact that he'due south rude and hateful to nigh people, is having to put up with SpongeBob and Patrick'south loud and irritating behaviors, which sometimes leads him to make plans to get him to stop, although sometimes, either as a result of his airs or carelessness, his plans backlash on him. This is shown in "Jellyfishing" where Squidward unleashes a jellyfish in a jar with the intent to get in sting SpongeBob and Patrick, in retaliation for making him get stung by the Queen Jellyfish. In "Fools in Apr," Squidward pulls a very cruel and harmful prank on SpongeBob that physically assaults him while nether the manipulation of a rope tied to him. In "Suction Cup Symphony," Squidward kicks SpongeBob and Patrick out of his window then hard to the point of fracturing the latter'southward buttock basic. In "Dying for Pie," Squidward buys an explosive pie to give to SpongeBob for Employee Brotherhood Day, oblivious to the fact that information technology is infused with a bomb; SpongeBob allegedly consumes it, merely to reveal toward the ending that he had it in his pocket the whole fourth dimension to share with Squidward. Although Squidward tried to make the last hours of SpongeBob'south life meaningful and felt guilty for causing his doom, he expresses anger upon discovering that SpongeBob never really ate the pie. In "The Lost Mattress," Squidward tries to get SpongeBob and Patrick eaten by the guard worm at the dump by having them trespass the argue while dressed upwardly in steak suits. In "The Curse of Bikini Bottom," Squidward lends his lawnmower to SpongeBob and Patrick out of hope that they injure themselves with it. In "Sportz?," he creates a malicious sports game for them to play in an attempt to harm them. In "Scavenger Pants," Squidward makes up a really hard scavenger chase in hopes of getting SpongeBob and Patrick harmed.
Despite his grumpy nature, Squidward does take a caring center deep downwards, and when he realizes his plans accept caused either damage or emotional pain to those he ridiculed, he is quick to realize the error of his ways and make up for it while he can. Occasionally, such every bit in "Krab Borg," Squidward is seen teaming up with SpongeBob, or even caring near him.
Artistic side
Leisure
Squidward playing his clarinet.
An avid patron of the arts, Squidward has a strong affection for interpretive dance, sculpting, painting, and playing the clarinet. Nonetheless, he seems to have almost no talent for any of them whatsoever, although he does play the clarinet beautifully at the end of the "Christmas Who?," at the end of "Bubblestand," and in "The Two Faces of Squidward." He has often tried to impress the public with his artistic exhibitions but is always either unrecognized, mocked by his audition, or upstaged by SpongeBob. Squidward always wants to be the center of attending but rarely ever is. In "All-time 24-hour interval Always," he had a concert where he played beautifully and received thunderous applause from the audition. SpongeBob was on the VIP listing for information technology, which is ironic, because Squidward's intense hatred for him. Squidward besides misses many chances to become famous, even in his dreams.
His lack of talent seems to get back to when he was a kid: in "Lost and Institute," information technology is revealed in a flashback that Squidward was a kazoo player in unproblematic school and that his classmates found his music so bad that they all ran out of school, despite Squidward thinking he excelled in playing the musical instrument.
All of his artwork, from sculptures to paintings, depicts himself in a mode, even repainting existing works to include his face up. He surrounds himself with said art throughout his business firm, a clear indication of his narcissist tendencies. These arts have occasionally been admired greatly by Patrick and SpongeBob, but are universally hated past the residue of Bikini Lesser.
He has tried several things to reach the fame he desires: hosting a talent show, starting his astrology spin-off, forming a band, and so on, yet he cannot seem to get much of a following.
Occupation
Squidward works equally the cashier at the Krusty Krab, along with his co-worker, SpongeBob SquarePants. He not only hates his duties but the Krusty Krab itself, and he performs his job rather poorly and with a lack of enthusiasm. He also oft behaves rudely to the customers. He has oft expressed a want to be fired or simply quit, just never makes good on information technology. While he initially only seems to piece of work at that place because he needs the coin, he seems to merely be there out of pure laziness of getting a different chore equally the series progresses.
In The SpongeBob SquarePants Picture show, Squidward is the manager of the Krusty Krab 2 for half-dozen days, although due to Plankton'south invasion of Bikini Bottom, the new restaurant is not in service during this time. Information technology is as well shown here that Squidward cares about what happens to the Krusty Krab and the Krabby Patty formula when he discovers Plankton selling Krabby Patties and threatens to report him to King Neptune. In "Selling Out," Squidward works as the waiter for Krabby O'Monday's. He was forced to maintain a imitation state of happiness, or else face "Human Resource," a thug in the back of the edifice.
In The Patrick Star Evidence, he is a paperboy who's trying to collect overdue payment from the Star family.

Creation and development
Stephen Hillenburg start became fascinated with the body of water and began developing his creative abilities as a child. During college, he majored in marine biology and minored in art. After graduating in 1984, he joined the Ocean Institute, an ocean instruction organization, where he had the idea to create a comic book titled The Intertidal Zone, which led to the creation of SpongeBob SquarePants.[27] [28] [29] In 1987, Hillenburg left the Constitute to pursue a career in blitheness.[29] [30]
Several years after studying experimental blitheness at the California Institute of the Arts,[thirty] Hillenburg met Joe Murray, creator of Rocko'due south Modern Life, at an animation festival. Murray offered Hillenburg a job equally a managing director of the series.[29] [31] [32] Martin Olson, one of the writers for Rocko'southward Modern Life, read The Intertidal Zone and encouraged Hillenburg to create a goggle box series with a similar concept. At that bespeak, Hillenburg had not considered creating his ain series, but shortly realized that this was his take chances.[28] [28]
Hillenburg used some grapheme designs from his comic book. He designed "SpongeBob's grumpy next-door neighbour" like an octopus because of the species' big caput; octopuses, he said, "take such a large bulbous head and Squidward thinks he's an intellectual so of class, he'south gonna have a large bulbous caput."[33] Hillenburg drew Squidward with six tentacles because "it was just simpler for animation to describe him with six legs instead of eight."[33] Show writer and storyboard artist Vincent Waller said:
Squidward is hard to draw-he has a very odd-shaped head. Fortunately, his emotions are pretty even, but to get a whole lot of big emoting out of him is a challenge. His nose splits everything in half, so it's always like, 'OK, how am I going to work this and still brand information technology read?'[34]
Hillenburg thought of making jokes with Squidward ejecting ink but retired information technology because, according to him, "it e'er looks like he's pooping his pants."[33] However, it occurs in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water and the episodes "Behemothic Squidward" and "Ink Lemonade."
Stephen Hillenburg named him Squidward considering of the name Octoward—in the words of Squidward's voice histrion Rodger Bumpass—"just didn't work."[35] The audio of Squidward's footsteps is produced by rubbing hot water bottles. The footsteps, and those of the balance of the main characters, are recorded by the show's foley crew. Sound designer Jeff Hutchins said that footstep sounds "[assistance] tell which character it is and what surface they're stepping on."[36] However, his footsteps are usually accompanied by a couple of stock sound effects from the Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends library from the sound effects company Audio Ideas, SPURT, Cartoon - OIL SPURT 01 and 02. Bumpass inspired the idea of having Squidward ride a recumbent cycle; Bumpass owns 1 of these bicycles, which he rides effectually Burbank, California.[37] Bumpass described information technology as his "little inside joke."[35]
Voice
Squidward's phonation is provided past thespian Rodger Bumpass, who voices several other SpongeBob SquarePants characters, including Squidward'southward mother. In "Funny Pants," Tom Kenny voices Squidward'southward laughter at the end of the episode. While creating the show and writing its pilot episode in 1997, Hillenburg and the show's then-creative director Derek Drymon were also conducting voice auditions.[38] Mr. Lawrence, who had worked with Hillenburg and Drymon on Rocko's Modern Life, was Hillenburg'south first pick for the role. Hillenburg had invited Lawrence to audition for all the prove'south characters.[39] Instead of Squidward, Hillenburg decided to requite Lawrence the role of Plankton, the series' villain.[38] According to Everybody'due south Talking: The Voices Behind SpongeBob SquarePants, while Tom Kenny was practicing the voice of SpongeBob, Stephen Hillenburg read several of Squidward's lines since his vox actor (Rodger Bumpass) had non been bandage yet.[forty]
Co-ordinate to Bumpass, Squidward was "a very nasally, monotone kind of guy." He said the character became interesting to perform because of "his sarcasm, and then his frustration, and then his occlusion, and then he became a broad spectrum of emotions."[41] Tom Kenny, the vocalism of SpongeBob, describes Bumpass recording his lines in the studio, maxim, "I beloved watching Rodger ... He'southward right next to me." Co-ordinate to Kenny, when Bumpass "goes apoplectic" as Squidward while recording, his caput turns blood-red, "and you're afraid he's going to take an embolism."[37]
Several of the show'due south crew praise Bumpass for his performance and similitude to the character. Kenny called Bumpass "brilliant" and said, "[he] is sort of like Squidward."[37] Staff author Kent Osborne said, "I recall thinking about how much Rodger talks and acts similar Squidward. That's why it's such a practiced voice—he'southward and then connected to it."[42] Still, Bumpass said, "I'm not him and he's not me, but what I'one thousand required to practise for him and what I am enabled to do for him is what makes information technology like me. Information technology fits my particular talents and skills very well. And then in that respect, yeah, he is me, merely I am not the cranky, sarcastic, underachieving kind of guy that he is. He's easy to fall in, I will say that."[41]
Squidward's voice has been compared to that of Jack Benny's. Kenny said, "To me, there's something just so funny virtually that Jack-Benny-loyal-to-nobody character that Rodger Bumpass does such a great job of playing [...] Squidward."[43] Arthur Brown, author of Everything I Need to Know, I Learned from Cartoons!, said that Squidward "sounds a lot similar Jack Benny."[44] Bumpass repudiated the human relationship, maxim "Jack Benny, no. Although he does have this observational sarcasm he occasionally brought out."[41]
Relationships
SpongeBob SquarePants
Squidward angrily kicks SpongeBob and Patrick out of his destroyed house.
SpongeBob is the character Squidward interacts with the nearly and is also the one he dislikes more than the rest, often trying to avoid him at all costs.
The main reason for Squidward's massive dislike for SpongeBob's existence is because SpongeBob tin can be extremely abrasive towards Squidward, but SpongeBob is unaware of this, and thus continues to irritate him. It was revealed in "Truth or Square," that SpongeBob'southward pineapple firm landed on Squidward'due south sometime garden and when SpongeBob moved in, Squidward started to resent him even though SpongeBob didn't practice anything to make Squidward hate him. Squidward and SpongeBob are opposites, which seems to be the reason why Squidward dislikes him at times when SpongeBob has not done annihilation bad to him.
Their relationship is somewhat complicated. While SpongeBob sees Squidward every bit ane of his best friends, this is mostly one-sided, although Squidward occasionally shows sympathy towards him; this is seen in episodes such every bit "Pizza Delivery," "Dying For Pie," and "Christmas Who?" Squidward also admired SpongeBob's selfless bravery confronting the Flying Dutchman in "Born Again Krabs." Squidward has too teamed up with SpongeBob and helped him on a few occasions, such as in "Krab Borg" and "Squid on Strike." After, in "SpongeBob You lot're Fired," Squidward fought off iv crazed eating house owners to rescue SpongeBob and later admitted that as much he hates him, he hates the scent of burnt Krabby Patties more than before giving him a heartfelt plea to return to the existence the fry cook at the Krusty Krab. In the episode "SB-129," Squidward says that he misses everything, including SpongeBob. He too admitted that he likes SpongeBob in "Graveyard Shift" and "Fools in Apr." Sometimes, he needs SpongeBob's assist, every bit shown in "Skill Crane" and "Sponge-Cano!" where he badly told SpongeBob how grateful he was so SpongeBob could save him from falling in the volcano. He's likewise gotten forth really nicely and played with SpongeBob in episodes such as "Breath of Fresh Squidward" and "Slide Whistle Stooges."
Mr. Krabs
Squidward is aroused at Mr. Krabs.
Squidward despises Mr. Krabs and has fiddling tolerance for him. Different SpongeBob, Squidward is much more aware of Mr. Krabs' greedy and cheap nature. Mr. Krabs also thinks very lowly of Squidward and gets tired of his lazy tendencies and often blames him for mishaps, though he does see him as a valued employee on occasion. There have been times where Squidward angrily scolded Mr. Krabs. In "Born Again Krabs," he furiously chastises Mr. Krabs for selling SpongeBob'south soul for pocket change. In "Clams" he gets mad at Krabs for taking them on a fishing trip and berates him for making them stay on the boat all over a dollar. He also gets outraged when Mr. Krabs blames something on him, similar when Squidward got mad and furiously quit his chore because Mr. Krabs angrily accused him of stealing his first dime in "Can You Spare a Dime?." However, the two do sometimes get along and Squidward has been working at the Krusty Krab for a long fourth dimension and does sometimes respect and listen to Mr. Krabs' authority, so the ii accept adult a somewhat decent relationship. All the same, their human relationship has taken a turn for the worst as the series progressed, with Mr. Krabs becoming more greedy and immoral, and Squidward condign angrier and grumpier.

Gary the Snail
Gary and Squidward have a complicated relationship. Gary annoys Squidward while Gary thinks Squidward is a jerk.

In "Are Y'all Happy At present?," Gary seemed to be concerned for Squidward like SpongeBob was. In "That Sinking Feeling," Squidward was searching SpongeBob in his house and when he spotted Gary on the roof, he said "Hey, Gary." to him.
Sandy Cheeks
Squidward and Sandy usually do not talk to each other, but in "SquidBob TentaclePants," she transformed Squidward and SpongeBob after being stuck together, and Squidward begs Sandy to split them. Sandy is one of the few characters Squidward seems to take no problems with, although Sandy does seem to sometimes to find Squidward intolerable, such as his recent assault on a creepy crawler with karate for revenge instead of self-defense in "Squid Defence force." She can besides get a little crude considering in "Patrick! The Game" when he was about to quit Sandy angrily scolded him to get back in. She even drew the line before with Squidward and some of his antics, such as when she beat up Squidward in "Sportz?" for making SpongeBob and Patrick hurt themselves by playing dangerous sports and wouldn't allow them finish.
