True, but it's far thinner than the photograph, showing that the subject knows that it would be better if it weren't so damn fat, but it's trying to get away with a less-fat cartoon because they think they can get away with that instead of a human-sized cartoon. It's still a lie, but it's doing what it can to make the lie seem more true. The intent is the same: present a more human-looking cartoon image than what they actually are because they know that what they are is worse.
