[edit] Plot
At sea, an artist is drawing a sketch, when he accidentally drops his pencil into the sea. The rule of the artist at sea number 1: Always bring a spare pencil. SpongeBob and Patrick are playing 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' using bubbles, when the pencil shoots down like a meteorite and slams on the ground, making a small crater. SpongeBob draws a jellyfish, then it comes alive. They realise that it's a magic pencil, and wreak havoc on poor Squidward. SpongeBob then draws DoodleBob, a sketch version of himself. DoodleBob wreaks havoc (he steals the magic pencil) until SpongeBob erases him (the eraser end of the pencil is capable of erasing anything, not just drawings). However, the arm is still there, and in the night, it steals the pencil and draws itself. The pencil is snapped in half (DoodleBob has the eraser and SpongeBob has the pencil), then SpongeBob presumes that they both have equal power. DoodleBob sharpens his half, so he has an eraser and a pencil. He is finally trapped inside a book (he sticks to paper), and the page is framed on a wall. The pencil is propelled back to the artist. He grabs it and continues drawing, but the lead snaps. The rule of the artist at sea number 2: Always bring a pencil sharpener.
[edit] Quotes

- Patrick: SpongeBob! Your drawing's coming to life!!
- SpongeBob: Now, that's more like it Mr. Critic.
- Patrick: No! I mean it's swimming away!
- SpongeBob: Do you know what this means Patrick?
- Patrick: Your art can never hang in a museum.
- SpongeBob: Hold it right there, Doodle! I brought you into this world and now I'm going to take you out. Any last words?
- DoodleBob: (blabs in gibberish)
- SpongeBob: I'm sorry, what was that?
- DoodleBob: (repeats gibberish slowly. Sounded like "Bee-ba... Bala hala ba-ba.")
- Squidward: (to himself) You've got looks, talent, all you need is a full head of... (Patrick's magic moustache lands on Squidward's head) HAIR!!!
- (After Patrick gets hit with a bowling ball twice)
- SpongeBob: Patrick, are you ok?
- Patrick: FINLAND!
- SpongeBob: (Triumphantly, when he believes he has erased DoodleBob) I AM SPONGEBOB!! DESTROYER OF EVIIIIIIIILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Patrick: Take it easy, it's just a drawing.

- Patrick: So, he's a drawing?
- Spongebob: Exactly.
[edit] Trivia/Goofs
- This episode could be considered a look at the relationship between the artist and his creations, more further explored in The Singing Detective and The Tempest. The creation, DoodleBob, has become self-aware, and wishes to usurp the artist, SpongeBob, who did not understand all of DoodleBob's dimensional being. In the end, the artist has total control of his creation, as is with many stories, with SpongeBob trapping his art in a piece of paper.
- The actor who plays the artist is Doug Lawrence, who also provides the voice for Plankton and has co-written many Spongebob episodes as well (as Mr. Lawrence).
- The title is a spoof on both Frankenstein and doodle.
- When Spongebob breaks the pencil, the pencil gets chopped in half, but after DoodleBob pointed Spongebob with it, after Spongebob accidentally threw his half, the pencil was in its regular length.
- Patrick suffers four concussions in this episode (all in the span of just over a minute), all at DoodleBob's hands.
- DoodleBob speaks his own language similar to the caveman talk used by SpongeGar, Patar, and Squog, in the episode SpongeBob B.C. (Before Comedy).
- The person who voiced DoodleBob is Dee Bradley Baker, one of the many people who do additional voices on the show.
- At first, SpongeBob calls his creation "DoodleBoy" but later calls him DoodleBob, probably a reference to SpongeBob's original name.
- Pencils cannot sink to the bottom of the sea, because they are buoyant.
- DoodleBob also appeared in Nicktoons Unite.
- This episode is the second time that Patrick mocks SpongeBob's clothes, the first time being in "I'm With Stupid"
- At some points in the episode, Doodlebob's voice resembles Eric Cartman's from South Park.
