Squiddly Diddly

Squiddly Diddly is an anthromorphic squid created by Hanna-Barbera, who was featured in his own cartoon segment on The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel beginning in 1965. The round-headed, sailor-hatted Squiddly who resembles an octopus rather than squid is captive in an aquatic park known as Bubbleland, and resides in a pool with his name on it. Squiddly Diddly is also an aspiring musician who makes many attempts to escape and attain musical stardom, but he is constantly foiled by Bubbleland's administrator Chief Winchley. In some episodes, Squiddly manages to escape, but choose to return to Bubbleland after finding the outside world would be too harsh. Other times he and Chief Winchley would have to work together to solve problems in Bubbleland. The cartoon show people applauding Squiddly Diddly's musical talents, but often depict terrified people who mistakenly believe that octopuses are hostile.

 Squiddly Diddly is originally voiced by Paul Frees.
