What is interesting is to consider the type of material used. Is this ink or pencil? It's obviously a very different ink flow than that used in the main lettering.
If this is child scribbling - which I agree it looks like - what sort of implement would allow a child to scribble like that? A traditional ink quill would require constant re-inking and you would expect a child to blot constantly.
I think this is a good question. I've often wondered if it was drawn/written with something different from a regular quill. It almost looks like silverpoint, which was commonly used to draw before graphite-based pencils were invented, but I really can't tell from a scan.
