Re: the "Most Dangerous Place" sketch, here are a couple of threads from 2001 that you might find interesting.

Wired Magazine, Sep. 26, 2001: 'Mommy Liberty' Packs a Gun

Fox News Channel, Oct. 3, 2001: Sketch Becomes Sign of the Times

The artist is Eliza Gauger of Bellingham, WA. She was 17 at the time.
She donated proceeds from the sale of items with this artwork to the Red Cross.

From the Fox article:

'Gauger said the nationwide calls for peace at a candlelight vigil ignited her creativity.
"Everyone was standing up to the mic saying things like 'give peace a chance' and 'no retaliation,' but I don't think these people were thinking clearly about this man or what he's capable of accomplishing if we don't protect ourselves," the high school senior said of Usama bin Laden, the man suspected of masterminding the Sept. 11 attacks.'

Thank you for the links. I'd done a quick google search on "911 statue of liberty," "statue of liberty mother gun 911," and "...mother child" without having any luck. (Searches done without the quotation marks and other punctuation.) Patience isn't always my virtue, so I decided it would be easier to track where I'd saved the picture and put it online. "Borrowing" somebody else's phrase, it's good to know "the rest of the story" now.

She donated proceeds from the sale of items with this artwork to the Red Cross.

I hope someone in turn provided her with some college expense money! She's certainly a deserving young woman.
