Alt Text

A child's illustration using pencil, crayons, and blue pen on lined paper of multiple forms of attack being used against a few humanoid figures. At the top of the page is a man holding a very long gun that he is actively firing, next to an illustration of a house with a triangular roof. A man riding a camel is holding an object above his head and chasing down a female figure, while a truck carrying two passengers shows one of them holding another long rifle that is being fired. Quick sketches of a helicopter and two other human figures can also be seen.
