Plot

At sea, an artist is drawing a sketch, when he accidentally drops his pencil into the sea, which makes him cry. The number one rule of the artist at sea: Always bring a spare pencil. SpongeBob and Patrick are playing 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' using bubbles, when the pencil shoots down like a missile 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 he steals the pencil and draws itself back. 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. The episode ends with the artist screaming.

Quotes

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 title is a parody on both Frankenstein and doodle.
• The scene where DoodleBob's severed hand goes after the magic pencil is similar to Neil Gaiman's Coraline, when the Other Mother's severed hand goes after the key to the door between her world and Coraline's.
• 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 Ugh.
• The person who voiced DoodleBob is Paul Tibbitt, 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.
• 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 the start of the episode, the artist is seen making many strokes on the canvas. But when he gets the pencil back at the end of the episode, the canvas is blank.
• Patrick broke the fourth wall when he got hit by bowling balls by DoodleBob.
• When DoodleBob erases SpongeBob's pants, you see he has a butt. But in Nature Pants and Hooky when SpongeBob is naked, he has no butt.
• DoodleBob's hand crawling into SpongeBob's house might be a reference to "The Addams' Family"
• 12th episode to have flowers in the title card.
• Thare is a video game based on this episode called Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition, Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition is also a Spin-off from Drawn to Life.

• There is a closed captioning error near the end. When Spongebob's half of the pencil goes flying out the window and it hits Squidward in the head, he yells, "Ow! Spongebob, you're going to pay for that!" "Spongebob" isn't in the captions.
