My Coworker Feels I'm a Threat

Alright, warning this is blog-ish Also TL;DR I left NSFW drawings out on a clip board accidentally and a coworker felt it was a threat of violence towards her. Put under the cut for convenience. [spoiler]I closed Wednesday night an it gets really slow. I've made a habit of drawing on napkins at work, be it on my break or during dead time. For the first time ever I accidentally left two of them on the clipboard by the safe. One was simply a bunny that I tried to make as cute as possible at the time and another was Yatagarasu, a three-legged crow of myth. It had a speech bubble that said, "-blam!- you. I'm a God". This particular coworker of which I helped when no one else would and gave her the nice towel treatment found it the next morning. She took it directly to my manager and said she was "scared, offended and very angry". Explaining to my manager that she felt I intentionally left it for her to find and that it was surely a personal attack/threat. One that needed to be taken very seriously. My manager today pulled me into her office where I laughed about it. I was asked simply not to draw at the store anymore and the napkins were confiscated. Though as I closed the door she complimented my art style. This isn't the first time I've been dirtied for ridiculous claims. When I first began working here another coworker had told my manager I scream at her, throw things, and make her feel unimportant. I hardly talk at all. [/spoiler] Anyone ever have something stupid happen at work? I'm still at mine so replies will be slow.

    You should probably explain this to your coworker, you don't want her to constantly think you're out to get her. That, or run with it and get her to quit by sending increasingly intimidating, yet plausibly denied messages. Whatever.
