I'm only curious...

A buddy from work sent me a pic. I liked it. Had me laughing. I sent that same pic to my wife and she said something different from how I took.
(My name is mike)
I took it as I'm not fake and I don't care what people think and I'm going to do me regardless.
She said that it means I'm an ass hole.
I'm curious. If someone sent you that same pic and the names matched, how would you interpret it?

Hopefully we're all like Mike sometimes.
That comic is actually pretty interesting and could be interpreted many different ways.
Red balloons are often used as a symbol the heart of a child, youthful innocence and the like. The color is so bold against the black and white background that I think that there was some intention from the illustrator to show this.
Then what about the blue shirt?
From Google: "A bright blue shirt makes a woman think of you as someone energetic who is always in high spirits due to its vibrant nature. A deep blue on the other hand is perceived as being more conservative, introspective, strong and authoritative. Blue is a color associated with the ocean and therefore makes you look calm."
And the yellow shirt:"Color Meaning: Meaning of The Color Yellow. ... On one hand yellow stands for freshness, happiness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honor, loyalty, and joy, but on the other, it represents cowardice and deceit."
Could all be bullshit. But I'll take it as:
Mike has been part of the crowd. Going along with the program. But he's never afraid to be contradictory and express dissenting opinions.
Today Mike has had enough of the herd mentality. He's letting his child like heart fill up and float him away. He's going fishing.
Maybe he's supposed to work today or fullfil some other responsibilities. The crowd stares in awe at Mike as he floats away from the pack. Mike flips them the bird not out of malice, but in a good natured, " Fuck you guys and all your bullshit".
The girl in the yellow shirt (maybe Mike's girl) is especially in awe of Mike. She's cheery and friendly and happy to make the best of the comforts of the familiar. Mikes defiance is a complete mystery to her. It fascinates her. She's drawn to it like a magnet.

I love it!
It depends upon from whom I received it. If I received it from a good friend then I'd find it funny and done with the intention to be funny. If I received it from an enemy then I would infer that they intended it to mean that I'm an asshole.
Not that I have enemies... Hehe.
Either way, I would be glad to receive such a thing.

Maybe your wife got the “asshole” interpretation because the guy in the pic is unnecessarily flipping everyone off. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do your own thing, but the other people are doing their own thing, and there’s no real reason to effectively say “fuck you” to them for it. Mike might seem like less of an asshole if he just quietly drifted off and minded his own beeswax.
Another thing to consider is that many people who say they don’t give a shit about being liked and accepted are the people whose personalities keep them from being liked and accepted. A sour grapes type thing.

But how much something negatively impacts other people only really depends on how much you impose yourself on others in the process of doing things without regards for them Mike, as in the image Mike, is an asshole because he is flipping off everyone else and making a big deal about leaving rather than just going his own way and doing his own thing but none of the people in the crowd are obligated to be paying attention to him leaving either

I don't think he's flipping off the people. I think he's flipping of what they represent.

Do kids still do this? That's exactly how we made friends in the 90s. If you didn't have a bike we weren't fucking with ya. Loser. The fuck this looks like? The fucking Sandlot?
