> I have never had an instagram account and I was able to hop on there and copy the image.

This time you were. I get sent Instagram links semi-regularly and it’s a gamble when they’ll work. And there are two other people on this thread who replied directly to you, before your comment, saying they wouldn’t have bothered to even try.

> it might be of interest to some that the image shared by the artist on Instagram has the text justified how the artist intended

Is it, now? Then why is the text justified entirely differently on their own website, their Etsy store, and their official link on Cartoon Collections?

And look at that, it’s the exact same crop I chose for my screenshot. Almost as if I tried to respect the author’s choice, even though I very much doubt they are anal-retentive about how the text is laid out. They likely changed it for Instagram to fit better into the obligatory square.

> Why did you bother?

Perhaps cut it a bit with the hostility? It’s not like my screenshot harmed you in any way.

You have posed a potentially interesting (and well researched!) question that would probably be more fruitfully targeted at someone who did not make the effort to state "but I can't pretend that I care too much about that..."
