Vita

We don't know many things about Squidward's parents. In Krab Borg Squidward says that his father loved him. We can suppose that Squidward's father is dead because he tells this in past. But we see Squidward's mother in Krusty Towers.

His rivalry with Squilliam conisted since the High School. Now Squilliam is rich and does all the things that Squidward want to be or to do, he lives Squidward's dream.

Squidward lives in a Moai in the Conch Street 122. In His house he has a lot of self-portraits. (His neighbours are SpongeBob and Patrick.).

He works usually as cashier in the Krusty Krab, but he hates his job and he doesn't want to do anything for the Krusty Krab. He doesn't leave it because he doesn't know what to do, otherwise he becomes a homeless person. He thinks the food in the Krusty Krab is not good, because he never wants to taste them. Since Just a Bite he never tastes a Krabby Patty! But then he notices, he adores Krabby Patties.

The poor Squidward must, since Good Neigbours, achieve community Service with SpongeBob and Patrick all their lives long.

Personality

Sqidward loved art. He does many artistic things like painting, working with marble or dancing... as hobby. He individually thinks his "artistic" things are beautiful, but for the Bikini Bottom people it is not! He tries to beat his rival and one time he arrives it; in Band Geeks. His favorite hobby in turn is to play the clarinett, his friend, but we can clearly hear he can't. But in some episodes like in Bubble Stand he can perfectly play the clarinet. Maybe, so that he can play the clarinet well, he has to feel himself like a winner. Sometimes, we can suppose Squidward knows he can't play, like in Fools In April (-Citation).

Squidward can't say "Excuse me." There must be a very special reason because usually Squidward is egoistic and thinks he is right everytime.

Squidward is a kind of Narcist. Even he knows the others are better, he says something, so that he clearly means: "I [Squidward] am still the best for ever.".
In "Artist Unknown" SpongeBob makes a perfect circle and Squidward is fascinated, but he tells SpongeBob off and says that art can't be make so easily like magic. Then SpongeBob makes a wonderful sculpture; inwardly Squidward is frantic, but he shouts at SpongeBob. Sometimes we sees him during he looks applaudably himself in a hand mirror.
He unfortunately underestimates the other people; in particular SpongeBob.

Next to his dream to become a perfect artist, he wats to have hair! In One Krabs Trash we see Squidward's dream are buried in a accursed cementery. He apparently comes there and brings flower to his dream's tomb. Maybe he is therefore always churlish.

His crabbiness is also contributed by SpongeBob and Patrick presence. In Breath of Fresh Squidward SpongeBob explains that a storm appears over Squidward's brain when he sees SpongeBob or Patrick or both. Squidwards glad of bliss get a cold and himself isn't happy. But SpongeBob and Patrick think Squidward is thier friend and sometimes Squidward recognizes he likes SpongeBob and Patrick. He often want to get rid of them, but either it doesn't go or he misses SpongeBob and Patrick.

He hates jellyfishing, even he unwittingly invents it (14a)! He is too easy to vex him, so it's difficult to become a friend or to establish a relationship.

Because of his personality we can suppose Squidward is an egoistic bourgeois, but he isn't all the time! He can be very merciful! He shows his feelings other people, but unfortunately just rarely. Like in Christmas Who? Squidward give all his goods and chattels just so that SpongeBob happy is. In Pizza Delivery SpongeBob breaks out in tears as the costoumer doesn't want the pizza, so Squidward "assists a bit".

Alter Egos

• Smelly is Squidward as SpongeBob's and Patrick's pet. (The Thing)
• Squidly was King Krab's jester who was caged because King Krabs doesn't like his poems and melodies. (Dunces and Dragons)
