Kyra Pillar of the Community United States 867 Posts	Posted 11/21/2005 8:14 pm Hmmm... I dunno. Maybe Lincoln had some big ugly wart on the other side of his face or something? Maybe Brenner was left-handed and the other designers were right-handed? Or vice-versa? Rachel [:p] Report this Post to the Staff
crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 11/21/2005 10:28 pm No, Catman was standing to his left eating one of those full pound hotdogs with some strawberries on the side. Now that would make anyone look the other direction. I STILL can't imagine a full pound of hotdog but I do thank the maker for keeping Catman on a strict diet! Report this Post to the Staff

Stujoe Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 11/22/2005 10:48 am I think it is probably designer preference in all cases. Here is an article I made up quite a while back discussing Lincoln facing to the right: http://www.stujoe.com/index.php/Why...to_the_Right Report this Post to the Staff
longnine009 Pillar of the Community United States 1247 Posts	Posted 11/22/2005 8:05 pm Another bit of Lincoln trivia is that he grew the beard because a little girl visting the White House told him that he should grow one. He really was a president for the little people. Report this Post to the Staff
