Misconception 1: “Every TikTok result with ‘bone’ is about the comic.” It isn’t. The word “bone” shows up in jokes, health trends, and unrelated topics.
Misconception 2: “If it says Jeff Smith, it must be the cartoonist.” Not necessarily. Names collide online, and captions can be careless.
Misconception 3: “Viral comments prove the claim.” Comments often amplify whatever people want to believe, not what can be proven.
When in doubt, anchor to reliable context: Jeff Smith’s recognized public role as the creator of Bone gives you a stable benchmark. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Smith_%28cartoonist%29?utm_source=openai))
