About the Design
This minimalist graphic features a bold, humorous claim: "I invented the asterisk*". The design immediately follows with a smaller, self-aware disclaimer, "*not really", adding a layer of dry wit. It's a clever visual gag playing on the nature of footnotes and self-correction.

The phrase is a lighthearted declaration, poking fun at the idea of claiming credit for something so universally common and fundamental as the asterisk.
