Ahoy thar Fo'Rum! (and Creatives)
To help pass the time, I figured I would offer a fun little game for us all to play.
Let's play Mr. Squiggle!
While creating this thread I realised that Mr. Squiggle & Friends was actually an Australian children's television series on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and so a lot of you will have absolutely zero idea what I mean by "Let's play Mr. Squiggle!"
To sum the show up Wikipedia says this:
The basic premise of the show remained the same: children wrote in with their "squiggles" and Mr. Squiggle would turn them into recognisable drawings by connecting lines with his pencil nose. More often than not, the picture would be drawn upside down (Hetherington manipulated the puppet from above by viewing the drawing upside down), and then Mr. Squiggle would gleefully declare: "Upside down! Upside down!" – asking his assistant to turn the picture the right way up and reveal the completed drawing.
More information on Mr. Squiggle
The game works like this;
- Someone starts by drawing a random assortment of lines and shapes.
- Then someone else will come along and transform those shapes into a picture.
Here's an example I made:
To be fair, Mr. Squiggle used to create these drawings upside down most of the time and then flip them up the right way at the end to reveal what it was he was drawing the entire time. But let's keep this simple
So I suggest to people who would like to partake, download the image. Drop it into your MS paint-esk App of preference, draw away and then upload again as a new comment.
