Squidward spends his free time as an artist, dancer, and musician.  He enjoys dancing painting and building sculptures of himself, as well as playing his clarinet.  Despite all of his hobbies, Squidward has no friends.  He does not want to associate with his neighbors, SpongeBob and Patrick, as they spend their days blowing bubbles and fishing for jellyfish.  He once had a friend named Howard.  Howard shared many interests with Squidward, such as playing the bassoon, enjoys fine art, and especially dislikes blowing bubbles.  However, SpongeBo...
