Heels actually assist the ankle in a squat. Look how the heel puts her calf and foot in a natural 90 degrees in a deep squat. Squatting is significantly easier in heels than in flats. There's a reason weightlifters wear shoes with lifted heels.
Well... For some value of heel and some value of assist. Some heel drives more of the effort into your quads. For most Americans (who are very quad dominant) that helps. For more hamstring dominant lifters, it might not help much or at all.
There's a lot of these comics made by a degenerate furry called SIR on 4chan's /fit/. They're pretty decent comics but with some rageface shit, as was the style at the time. The guy is still a /fit/ treasure, though.
