found a hidden message and image inside cardboard box

[ericnkatz]

GF bought a package of circular wall mirrors to temporarily cover up some holes an electrician made above a fireplace after removing some old light fixtures. The picture/kanji were found on the inside of the cardboard box the stuff came in.

I uploaded a bunch of pictures and a movie of the box here:

My first impressions are that a chinese worker is in trouble somewhere and needs our help!

Well, it's a bit of a scrawl, but this is what I think it says:

大家好 我一个大头三毛 你们准有幸能够看到我啦！

I'm not sure if that's a character in front of 三 (鬼?) or if it is just a scribble.

The meaning is something along the lines of "Hello. I'm a San Mao (a cartoon character). You must be lucky to be able to see me!"

Not really.

It's a bored message by a bored guy doing the packaging. It says "my name is big head, you're lucky to see me" .

Meaningless.

I think it's 谁, not 准. I can't make sense of the 三毛 part either. (not sure if it's 三生).

EDIT: It should be 三毛 , look at the three hairs.

The author 三毛 is from Taiwan, but the cartoon character 三毛 is not.

The closest I could get is:

大家好，我叫大头鬼三毛，你们谁有幸能够看到我呢！

The translation is pretty much similar to those given above.

Terrible hand writing BTW.

Yes, I think you're right about 谁.

xiaocai, thanks.

Thanks for the quick replies! Overall the picture was fairly amusing to me.
