Haha. Tom did the same thing to me - made a puzzle for/about me and I really had no clue what it was supposed to be. I made a guess and Tom agreed, but I don't know if that was what he intended.

So, it probably has to do with the name/word "bugaboo" - which is one of those words that can mean one thing to one family/culture and something entirely different in another family/culture. It could be part of a legend passed down from parent to child in bedtime stories. Or maybe it's just "bugaboo" with no special meaning beyond what is in the dictionary:

1. An object of obsessive, usually exaggerated fear or anxiety.
2. A recurring or persistent problem.

I was going to say I'd go with definition 2 but I really don't have any reason to pick on bugaboo.
#16: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 27, 2010
i'm not picking on bugaboo, bugaboo just seems to have a special insight and story telling ability. The meaning of the name means nothing to be.

Ahhhh. Then I was way off. :-D

enjoyed the solve.
my guess: it's some green skyscrapers that we're only seeing the top of and godzilla is climbing up and you can see his left arm is about to grab a huge black cow that obviously lives on top of one of those buildings.

Ok, so what is it really? bugaboo?

i think telly wins for the most creative guess

a long earthworm going across the grass to his food bowl, even though the food bowl doesn't look like one; maybe the food bowl is one of those castle things in chess an apology to all chess players because I don't know the real name.

A rook.
#22: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Nov 3, 2010
thanks Martin.

If it's about Bugaboo maybe it's a bug (although it looks more like a worm) about to scare a . . . cow, maybe?
