Got a marker handy? Then pull it out and do a Picasso on their face!
 
For some reason, characters have a thing about drawing on people's faces with felt-tip markers. Usually it's nothing too elaborate - a pair of glasses, [[High -Class Glass|a monocle]] a mustache, and maybe a goatee, sometimes they get a little more creative and start drawing little pieces of art on their target.
 
Who just it pulls off depends on the culture from which the thing comes:
Line 110:
* In ''[[Green Wing]]'', Dr. Statham invades a comatose {{spoiler|Mac}}'s hospital room and draws facial hair and glasses on his face in marker pen.
* One episode of ''[[The Dick Van Dyke Show]]'' had Richie and a playmate "connecting the dots" with the freckles on Rob's back as he slept on the couch, producing a picture of the Liberty Bell, which neighbor Millie Helper submits to an "Odd But True" newspaper column.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "School Reunion", [[David Tennant]] did this to ''himself'', in order to make sure that Billie Piper and Elisabeth Sladen [[Enforced Method Acting|laughed during a scene]].
* In ''[[Top Gear]]'' Clarkson, May and Hammond all have to act as crash test dummies and need to draw reference points on their faces. You can see where this is going.
* Andy does this to a sleeping Barney Fife in an episode of ''[[The Andy Griffith Show]]''.
Line 143:
* Millie of ''[[Ozy and Millie (Webcomic)|Ozy and Millie]]'' apparently likes to do this to Ozy.
* This happens to Ichabod in one [http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1065768/page-119-that-escalated-quickly/ page] of ''[[Far Out There]]''... among other things.
* In ''[[Pv PPvP]]'', this was how Francis amused himself during a flight home from a convention. At Brent's expense, naturally.
* Subverted in ''[[Wizard School (Webcomic)|Wizard School]]'', where our 'hero' winds up with a [[Power Tattoo]] after a little [[Alcohol -Induced Idiocy]]. When he wakes up to find three pretty blue stars on his face, he assumes the two children with him have done this -- and berates them for drawing stars instead of a penis or two.

* [[David Tennant]] did this to himself (obviously, he was awake at the time) in order [[Enforced Method Acting|to make]] Lis Sladen and [[Billie Piper]] laugh at him for a scene needed in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "School Reunion". The editor then cut out the doodled-Tennant bits and replaced them with a clean faced version of the Doctor.
* British magazine FRONT, has a subsection on a page (or two) with people who got pissed <ref> (that is, drunk, not angry)</ref> and passed out and other people doodling stuff on 'em like dicks, balls, or covering them in flour or something along those lines. So quite obviously, this happens a lot in real life. [[Truth in Television|Truth in alcoholic beverages?]]
* Happened to one of the New England Patriots Cheerleaders at a party where other members drew, among other things, Swastikas. Patriots owner Robert Kraft is Jewish. You can guess the rest.
