Please tell me... Is "squiddles" a real show or just a creation ?

It’s just a show within Homestuck, but much like “Homestuck the Anime”, the Fandom made it seem like a real show to mess with people out of the loop. The general consensus in the Fandom to make it seem believable is that it was an old timey cartoon Homestuck is paying tribute to, but sadly all the original tapes were lost in a fire and there’s only sparse, scattered footage and stills of the show circulating.
