Trivia
Logan Bauer, Grayson Beckham, Jake Dougherty and Jacob Schlessman are all clearly shown in the cartoon, where the other editors merely have their shirts edited.
The city bosses influence in government was covered in AP US History and was the reason why it was chosen to be parodied.
J.B. Wuxim appears in the crowd.
A "Lab" signature appears where Keppler's did initially.
