funnily enough, my sister and our friend just came inside from smoking a cig talking about spongebob squarepants. our friend said Squidward is actually an octopus, not a squid.:shock:
at first i was like, "no way. hes only got 6 tentacles, thus making him a squid". so i looked it up, and it turns out Squidward is actually an octopus. my mind=blown.
"Even though his name is "Squid"ward Tentacles, he is an octopus. This was stated in a 20 minute "behind the scenes" feature of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie DVD with creator Stephen Hillenburg and a few voice actors. The following was quoted by Squidward's voice actor, Rodger Bumpass:
"I am Rodger Bumpass, and I play Squidward'. He's more of an adult, tries to be at least. He's a squid which explains his name."
Also, in another feature on the DVD, entitled "The Case of the SpongeBob," Stephen Hillenburg quotes the following:
"This is Squidward the octopus." Later in the feature, he quotes, "It was easier for animation to draw him with six legs instead of eight." "
