That's actually the joke of the original comic. The kid calls the guy Shrek, and the mom apologizes for her daughter's rudeness before saying something like "no, that's just an ugly bald man".

I like how every time it gets edited, there are people in the comments who notice the Shrek similarity but don't always agree if it's intentional. The artist did a good job on that front.
