This was drawn on the airplane last weekend after finishing a chapter on Abraham Lincoln in Sarah Vowell's book, "The Partly Cloudy Patriot." I drew this on the end sheet next to the inside front cover. Not a terribly accurate portrayal of the man, just a caricature. The flight attendant stopped twice to watch (I was in an aisle seat), and a third time to ask me, "Is that Abraham Lincoln?" and "Did you really draw that?" and before walking off to deliver more peanuts, she said, "You're a good drawer." Ha. I love that expression. Haven't heard that one since I was a kid.
