I'm fascinated by the infused subtext of the piece expressing the barely suppressed themes of man's inhumanity to man, man's inhumanity to nature, and "babies" inhumanity to Lincoln. Kudos to the artist, and it should be banned.
Not every guy in a fine hat is Abe Lincoln people. Come on. The artist herself tells us that this piece is not about the man, but rather that it is a piece "about a rabid baby".
If this is the "Arts" portion of which you speak, you can have it

If this was done by an actual child under teenage years I apologize. Its better than a lot of garbage I have seen at last thursday
Why, that's no baby, that is a case of paraphilic infantilism. Look at the size of the alleged "baby." That thing is huge. The abe lincoln impersonater is, in fact, closer to viewer than the baby, but the baby is larger. The head alone is enormous, and it is likely Uncle Fester. That's not foam at the mouth, but obviously a bit of foam from the beer that dude just chugged. Kid, don't quit your day job. You ask too much with your artistic license.
I think the perspective is fantastic, the rolling hills, winding road, the world's smallest city! And those hands. The use of highlighter is overwhelmingly breath taking. Surely no one else here would have thought to use the blue highlighter under the purple highlighter to give such a deep sense of depth to the man's pants.
This young lady should be damn proud.
That's not Lincoln, it's clearly Mr. Dark from "Something Wicked This Way Comes." He's teaching '80s dance moves to the immense, hydrophobic infant, even though he has no feet. Possibly one of Ray Bradbury's fever nightmares, telepathically transmitted.
I like the drawing and I think this is one of the better posts. I'd like to request that in the future, Kayla's drawings be scanned rather than photographed with an iPhone. Thanks.
Also, please, please make that next week's cover.
Besides, artists are always the worst analyzers of their own work.

Either that, or it's just some stuff she made up.
