"The 4-D Doodler" by Graph Waldeyer is a science fiction novella written during the early 20th century. The story explores the concept of four-dimensional beings and the peculiar interactions that can occur when the boundaries of dimensions blur. It delves into themes of perception, reality, and the unintended consequences of scientific exploration. The narrative revolves around Professor Gault, his assistant Harper, and psychiatrist Dr. Pillbot, who engage in a discussion about the existence of intelligent life in the fourth dimension. As Harper inadvertently draws the attention of a four-dimensional entity through his "doodling," chaos ensues when the professor and later Dr. Pillbot are partially transported into this higher dimension. Harper's unique ability to perceive the fourth dimension leads to a series of mishaps as they navigate the challenges posed by their new predicament, ultimately resulting in the professor being "creased" and unable to fully return to their three-dimensional world. The story blends humor and tension, showcasing the complexities of understanding dimensions beyond human comprehension while also hinting at the responsibilities of scientific inquiry.
