Mr Squiggle.

Anyone who grew up in Australia in the 1970s remembers the TV show - Mr Squiggle.

Very young children would send in ‘drawings’ of random lines, strokes, dots and curves.

A puppet called Mr Squiggle, aided by his friend Miss Jane and Rocket who acted as an easel, would use his pencil nose to join all the random markings and reveal a picture.

Usually Miss Jane would have to rotate the paper so we could see what only Mr Squiggle had discerned.

That’s the same way we create a narrative to explain what happened.

Almost always with us as the Hero.
