Behind the Scenes: The Making of Squiddly Diddly for Our YouTube Channel


Squiddly Diddly
 
is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran from 1965 to 1966 as a segment under The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show, with a total of 26 episodes airing on NBC. Most episodes followed a squid named Squiddly Diddly, who often attempted to escape the custody of
an aquatic park called Bubbleland, but his plans having been foiled by Bubbleland administrator, Chief Winchley.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, both Squiddly and Winchley were in the first lineup we did for modeling, we made them as they were part of HB's history, I did all modeling work for the characters.

The first Squiddly Diddly story we produced for the channel, titled "The Missing Squid," which wasn't written by me. I don't know if we still have the original storyboard. The plot followed Squiddly tying to espace from Bubbleland. The second story, titled "The Chief's Day Off," which also wasn't written by me, involved Squiddly following Winchley while he's on break. In the final story, "Messing with the Chief," which I also didn't write, had Squiddly convincing Winchley to play with him.

We are still in the process of writing more Squiddly Diddly stories, as well as other Hanna-Barbera stories that you may see in the future. However, we haven't written a Squiddly Diddly story in a while as of 2023, but I hope we can create more in the near future.
