    Anyone else find this a bit messed up? A little too much of a caricature?

    It is a caricature. No problem with it.

    It's offensive to me as a Cubs fan, given the obvious Bartman implication, but otherwise it's harmless.

    Muh....no problems with that. Kinda cool, actually. Think about how much a rookie John Anderson card would have been worth.

    Should've played up his ears more. Those will be his cartoon signature.

    As a Sox fan, find it fan-tastic.

    What's offensive? They only played up his smile.

    Here's a real question of offensive or not?

    I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating caviar, Doc.
