Fans of the vast and immensely popular field of funny animal squids have a wide variety of stars to choose from — Squidward in Spongebob Squarepants; Slappy Squirrel's antagonist in Animaniacs, Sid the Squid … and that seems to be about it. Except, of course, for the pioneer in the field, Squiddly Diddly, who debuted as long ago as October 2, 1965, as one of the back segments in Hanna-Barbera's hour-long Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show. But other than his species, Squiddly Diddly stayed on familiar ground. The idea of local fauna always trying to get the better of the human authority figure that supposedly has jurisdiction had been done as a national park bear, New York alley cat, zoo denizen, and pet store merchandise. Here, it was done as an invertebrate resident of an aquatic theme park.

The park was called Bubbleland. The human authority figure was Chief Winchley, whose voice was done by John Stephenson (Mr. Slate in The Flintstones, narrator in Ruff & Reddy). The invertebrate, of course, was Squiddly Diddly, whose voice was done by Paul Frees (whose credits range from Super President to Boris Badenov). Squiddly's recurring act of defiance was to escape, usually to pursue a career in show business (he was musically talented — in fact, the title card showed him simultaneously playing a saxophone, a guitar and a set of bongo drums), but of course, Winchley always got him back into his boring old aquarium tank.
