Apparently the kid wasn’t suspended from school so much for this drawing as well as saying a couple of times that he would shoot one of his classmates.  There was a kindergartener who shot a classmate in late 1999 or early 2000, so I suppose you can not be too careful.

But I think it is fair to analyze this cartoon.  The shooter, apparently a robot, has an effective expression on his face, I think a product of the slanted face and the line that runs up on his eye — it is stern.  The girl, gender identifiable even though abstractly due to the squiggle which represents the hair, needs a little work.  I do not know what expression he is trying to parlay — she needs more feeling. 

The gun looks like a 50s style raygun.  Interesting choice, a touch of nostalgia.

It shows promise, I suppose.  We’ll see what he draws in a decade.
