Earlier today we reported that a person named Dominic Vanner, who apparently owned the copyright to the "Forever Alone" meme, was claiming that Team Meat had infringed upon said copyright by using his meme in their game Super Meat Boy.
However, we were recently contacted by one Brandon Newton, who put Vanner's claim into dispute. He had this to say:
Dominic Vanner is a fraud who does not actually hold the copyright to the Forever Alone meme.
I, Brandon Newton, am the original artist.
He shared the following side-by-side comparison image with Gameranx to back his claim:

The plot thickens! Who is the true creator of the Forever Alone meme? Whatever the answer, we doubt Team Meat cares, but it certainly weakens Vanner's claim on the copyright.
