Back in my grade school days, us boys used to draw pictures of guns (usually big guns, like tanks, cannons, missile launchers, machine guns) and actually turn them in for a grade. Granted, it was art class, but weaponry, whether military or science fiction related, was an extremely common subject, and didn't raise an eyebrow. (Though, I imagine our art teachers probably ROLLED their eyes after the umpteenth battle zone picture they received per week.) I have to wonder if this kids' picture, though inappropriately doodled in the margins of a homework assignment, came from this same place. (We liked this imagery because we associated it with exciting comic books and movies we had seen.)
