Squidville

There's a million stories in the naked city and this one is no different. Welcome to Squidville, where the only thing with two "i's" is our name! Join us for a tour through town and visit with the many Squidizens as Mayor Squidley shows off his domain.

Be sure to look closely everywhere, you never know what may be lurking around town! Looking for Squidizens for your works? Be sure to check the Fine Print as well as the SquidArt lenses listed below for possible candidates. Don't see what you want? Let us know and we'll see what can be done!

The tour actually begins right outside of town when you enter Squidville by going over Squidberry Hill. Of course if you're from out of the Squiddom, you'll need to stop at the gate and present your documentation. Otherwise, feel free to come join those of us that are over the hill!

One word of caution though, the squidizens around here don't take kindly to folks speeding through town, so please use caution and take your time. You can be assured that Squidville PD (AKA the Squid Squad) will be watching carefully, and their number one traffic cop, Squarmy Fife stands ready with ticket book in one tentacle, and radar gun in another.

The Mayor is glad you stopped by and welcomes you with open tentacles. Take a tour through the quaint seaside town of Squidville...a great place to visit...and not a bad place to live, especially if you have some time on your tentacles!
