All statements made in regards to a dedication to unbiased journalism are disingenuous. All likenesses were drawn with an intentionally exaggerated likeness for comedic effect, but also to protect the identities of these real-life commenters. Cartoonist Erwin Ledford does not condone online harassment, but does indeed think these people look as stupid as they sound.
