I thought doodles were done without much thought about a plan or design.
The above, although it may have started that way, looks as if a lot of thought is being used to make it saleable.'

"Nope" referred to the absurdity of a doodle being something that we could identify as just a doodle w/o some other meaning behind it.

But is it more?

There is no more. The artist was talking on the telephone phone, bored with the conversation.


Sad. Doubly sad. Then again, may that's the weather combined with being confronted with plumbing

This is another simple one, like the doodle that was... a doodle.

It is a flower but the whatzit is all 'bout that insect.
Bees have elbows on their antenna. The elbows give them stereo smell to aid in homing in on the nector. This insect not have elbow antenna.
Bees have pollen sacks on their hind legs. This insect has no pollen sacks.
Bees have four wings. This insect has only two wings. It is not a bee.

Hoverfly or Bee fly are correct answers. Chuck got it.

This whatzit is Eristalis tenax photographed at Lowe's in Somerset, Kentucky, Tuesday, June 22, 2021, 3:09 PM.

Its right front leg does not show clearly in the photograph (other than a blur) because the shutter speed was 1 second and the fly moved that leg during exposure.

It is a fly, Roger. Many harmless insects mimic the appearance of other insects that no one wants to mess with.

Here is another view of this whatzit (right clicking on it will take you to a larger image.)
