Decipher The Doodle Contest #1

By Tiffany in Decipher The Doodle on Jul 14, 2010 at 1:23 am



Hello Neatoramanauts and welcome to our very first Decipher The Doodle Contest.  This doodle was created by my almost-4-year old daughter.  I dare you to delve into the mind of this pint-sized artist and tell me what her doodle means.

We will award 2 prizes. One for the most correct answer and one for the funniest but ultimately wrong answer. Please leave your guess in the comment section. One guess per comment, but you are welcome to enter as many as you would like. Important: Please choose your own prize from the NeatoShop. You can pick any one item in stock, $25 or less. Write your item selection along with your guess, or you forfeit the prize, mmkay? Good luck!

Oh, and yes – I do know what the doodle means. Maddy explained it to me in great, great detail. I can’t believe I was so stupid as not to see it in the first place. Stupid Mommy!

Update 7/15/10: Contest time is up! Congratulations to WrexLabs  for coming up with the closest answer and daikoneklectik for the funniest but ultimately wrong answer: Silly Mommy! It means “Don’t attempt to limbo when fireballs are forming under the pole.” Even tho you’re wearing your vest that shoots blue laser beams from your chest, it’s very dangerous considering the circumstances.

The real answer is: No little brothers playing with my jewelery! It is a sign she made to tape on her door after her little brother went intentionally went into her jewelery box just to annoy her.

Thank you everyone for participating. We hope you had as much fun with this contest as we did.

    The artist’s subtle line work (especially in the treatment of the international “prohibited” symbol) indicates a distinct dissatisfaction with the confinements of contemporary American culture’s rigid rules, while the use of color (blue as representative of the stagnation of personal freedoms of this particular figure) simultaniously indicates the ineffectivness of the lone individual’s protest against a system which subjegates them.

    Or, “Big kids don’t like carseats.”

    1. It’s a baby “bouncy seat” with a baby strapped in it. The curved line is a bar with 3 hanging toys on it, and the 2 blobby things on the side are the legs of the bouncy chair that sit on the floor. Toddlers drawings are transparent. She also signed her creation with an “M” on the bottom.

    2.It’s a CIA illustration about waterboarding given to the Justice Dept. It’s meant to show how the suspect is comfortably lying down while barely strapped around his legs. See, he’s smiling? And between sessions, he has a “noodle” and 3 water rings to play with! And he doesn’t even have a nose, so what’s all this hoopla about drowning?!

    I can’t believe none of the previous posters have got it yet… it’s so obvious!

    The circle with the diagonal line through is a “No” sign.

    Then we have Daddy (judging from the hair, or lack thereof).

    Then what looks like laundry hanging on a line.

    So I’m guessing Daddy isn’t allowed to do laundry. I suspect a prior record of laundry “accidents” is behind the ban. Perhaps ruining a favourite dress by washing it with something red, or maybe pilling up some tights by putting them with towels or fuzzy socks.

    Of course, Mommy suspects that Daddy does it deliberately to incite just such a ban, an accusation which Daddy vehemently denies.

    I won’t worry about the prize. Great contest, though! Lots of fun!

    The subject in the doodle is walking on a high wire over the laundry line outside of his parents rundown trailer home. Wheel rims that had just been spray painted are drying on the lines. The father of the subject is teaching him tightrope walking as a skill that may help elevate his status in life and allow him to move out of the trailer park that has trapped much of his family for generations. The father figures that the child may be able to join the circus, become a superhero sidekick, or perhaps if he is lucky, win a few bar bets.

    Child in a car seat?
    I’ll guess that its actually a 4 year olds interpretation of their best/most recent new friend Tony Stark in child sized form with his arc reactor all lit up.
    He’s not in uniform because hes on a road trip with his friend, your daughter. Although he has a slimline armour suit-cum-brief case in the trunk of the car in case of ruski attack.
    The three spherical objects are backup arc reactors because when you’re a kid, car journeys take for evaaaaaaaaaaar and the one Tony’s currently sporting will more than likely need to be replaced.

    Should you find this humerous or true, I would like an Ice Invaders Ice tray pleeeeeeease!
