Is there any way to get the scribble of this sneaky photo?

You are right, I may have misinterpreted the original poster’s request …

Well if this had been a photo of a dog or something, then you're right, it wouldn't be fixable!

To elaborate: 

jpg (and other pixel image formats without layers capabilities) have pixels, but they do not have pixels hidden behind other pixels. 

I think there was a famous case where someone »redacted« pdfs by inserting black rectangles – in a vector format like pdf any number of objects can lie atop each other and keep on existing, so people were able to remove the bars amd read the texts. 

In a flat pixel image the pixel you see is it, there is nothing behind it.
