A webtoon artist became the center of a viral, lighthearted internet roast over the inclusion of a cat in their comic panels. Social media user @berrytop9 shared three specific panels featuring a chubby, Scottish Fold-style cat standing alongside a dramatic, sword-wielding character, jokingly captioning the post with a claim that the artist "draws cats really badly."
The punchline of the joke rests on the fact that the animal is not illustrated at all; rather than sketching the feline, the artist simply cropped, edited, and pasted a photo of a real cat directly into the fictional scenes. The stark, jarring contrast between the photographic cat and the fully illustrated human protagonist immediately fueled the viral humor across the platform.
The webtoon's creator, who goes by @utto__toon, quickly noticed the viral post and decided to playfully defend their artistic integrity. Quote-posting the critique, the artist showcased their actual skill set by sharing two highly detailed, hand-drawn close-up illustrations of a gray tabby and a calico cat—firmly proving that the photographic insertion was an intentional comedic choice rather than a lack of drawing talent.
