A cartoon to show the misleading nature of graphs with a y-axis scale that does not start at zero (here real data is plotted to make it appear that the population of Dublin, Ireland doubled in a single year between 2021 and 2022). The cartoon was based on an idea by Larry Lesser from The University of Texas at El Paso in May, 2023.
