Doodlez is about Dood, a small boy who is a doodle. Dood gets himself in and out of various Duck Amuck-esque situations, with the aid of Hand, a disembodied hand that uses his pencil to draw (sometimes) helpful things onto the screen for Dood's use, such as helping Dood cheat in a skating race against his rival by drawing a booster behind Dood.But usually hand draws very bad things. Situations include girl troubles, becoming a werewolf, being stuck in a picture frame, watering a sunflower, or traveling inside a giant beast to get his lollipop out of its stomach, and many other situations. There was also one episode done without Hand or his pencil but on a computer, and Cursor (See One-Time Characters below) stood in for Hand. Dood is usually angry at the end of the cartoon, because that it has to end so early. There is never any spoken dialogue, but sometimes the characters communicate through gibberish and Dood has a chipmunk laugh in some episodes. The end of a cartoon always shows the word “fin” (French for “The End”) appearing somewhere.
A female version of Dood and also the love of his life.
He shows up now and then, usually with a martini in hoof. He likes bubble baths and knows karate. He is seen as Dood's sidekick.
In various episodes, Cop squashes Dood usually and throws him somewhere. When he is squashed, Dood gets handcuffs on his hands.
Usually appears during winter.
Usually eats Dood and his things on some episodes.
In 2007, Teletoon announced a Doodlez television series to be released soon. Either the studio cancelled the production, or they are still in production. An opening for the show was released on KidMango along with a bit of the classic shorts. However, they don't show the shorts anymore.
