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 missile and slams on the ground, making a small crater. SpongeBob draws a jellyfish, then it comes alive. They realize 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.

• Patrick was talking like a genius, but he's dumb.
• He was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
• This episode 100% broke the fourth wall, when things come to life when somebody draws it using the pencil, this is because of the fact it is a TV show. Also Patrick broke the fourth wall when he got hit by bowling balls by DoodleBob.
• 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.

• 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 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 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(It is possible that he changed canvas sheets).
