The girl who drew it is a big time lib. She explained that that was just her gut reaction to 9/11. But now she doesn't like it cause it's come to represent the war and all she doesn't agree with.
She sure made a pile of money off it when it was popular though. However, she won't license it's use to anyone now.
I actually exchanged emails with her regarding another matter unaware that she was the artist who made that.
Seems like a nice kid, a bit too much into the "goth" scene.
Yes, that is an interesting story!
Oh well, there are plenty of graphics about a woman’s need to defend themselves (and their children) here:
