Yanking Doodles #3: Tell Me A Story
My pre-school teacher announced to the entire class that she liked my drawings because they told a story. To be honest, I think that had more to do with how talkative I was and less to do with the etchings themselves. I’d stand at her desk, point at my mysteriously enigmatic scribbles, and feed her some gourmet cockamamy bologne sandwiches, with lemonade, about how this diamond family were on their way home from the ever so exciting diamond fair, et cetera, et cetera.
Completely off-topic, I really did think for many, many years that B.S. stood for Bologne Sandwich. That is, after all, what my cousin Beverly told me when she taught me how to play a card game that everyone else this side of the universe calls Bullshit.
But anyway, my teacher thought you could read Gone With the Wind in my drawings, and her little statement really made an impression on me. Since then, I have tried to breathe a little bit of story into my drawings. What that story is changes from day to day.
Today, I want to see what stories other people see in my doodles. Below is a small selection of pictures I drew and colored with felt tip pens over 10 years ago.
Pretty please, pick one (or all three, if you like) and tell me a story.

I don’t think i’ll go looking for a story just yet ~ i’m a little too tired at the moment. However i am curious what your little buddy on the windowsil is holding?
Pray tell…
Oh, Saen… that’s a digital crapera meant to take fauxtos.
Minnie nailed it on the head, Saen. That is how the alien took a picture of this. 😉
Ahhhhh….yeah, see, i missed that.
Hmm, I am unable to think of a story right now (brain is in a mode of inactivity), but I can think of captions…
Drawing # 3 seems to have "Serendipity" written all over it. Well, at least from the dude’s point of view. 😉
Drawing # 2: "Losers can be winners. All he got at the track meet was a piece of metal on a ribbon… but I got the rack meet. Purr-fect."
Ahhh… that’s what I needed: captions! 😀
Mmmmm…
Picture #3 caption) Oh yea, praise the lord, thank you thank you thank you…(man’s perspective)
As for picture #1) The "story" I think of is that the athlete was hurt earlier in the week and he is agonizing over the fact that he cannot participate/help his team. But at least he has friends around to help him get over his disappointment.
Now, if he was smiling, that would be a totally different story 😉
