Squid was a spin-off written by tvguy347 and a variety of guest writers. Created in the style of original TV.com spin-offs, Squid is the first spin-off grounded entirely in the SpongeBob universe by tvguy since 2009. It is the first spin-off written in the classic TV.com-style since that time as well. It became tvguy's second show to hit #1 on the SpongeBoard after his 2013 hit The Inside Job. Squid is often described as a legacy spin-off for the SBC spin-off/lit community, with a variety of spin-off/lit writers contributing to the show, including TV.com veterans Clappy and terminoob, Skodwarde creator OMJ, new writer Cha, and Spinny Award-winning writers Steel Sponge, JCM, and teenj12.
