It would appear that the first version of the picture of this day's cartoon presents artifacts due to an unusual export method. Or the image has been exported using the 'nearest neighbor' resampling method, which would explain the jaggy edges, Or the image has been exported in GIF using only three colors : white, grey, and black, which would explain the reduced palette. Usually, the images appear to be exported using bilinear downsampling. 162.158.111.161 20:17, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
