Wait, why isn't the author's name scrubbed off? We're giving them credit now??? (/s, just in case)

I saw that there was some discussion about this the other day, but this community moves so fast that I didn't catch all the details.

My unsolicited 0.02 is that crediting in the title or body seems reasonable whenever the artist's signature/watermark isn't present.

Yeah it's perfectly fine. And just leaving the signature is too. The discussion is mostly around that one troll actively removing signatures when they exist because "that's an ad".

I hadn't read the discussion but saw there was one and had wondered why anyone would want to remove an artist's signature. That's crazy. What a weird world view.

I would only remove when it's one of those cases where the artist is a tremendous piece of shit, but the comic or edited meme is good

I'm glad it has the name of the comic and the artist visible. I just went to check out some of the comics, they are so cute!

Depending on the situation, sure. If the comic doesn't have a signature in the margins already (like XKCD) then credit in the title/body. If the signature is in the margins, and cropped out, then that's bad form. Comics are often re-shared and the title/body doesn't always come along.

After you remove the signature from the comics, credit is going to quickly get lost as the re-posts happen.

They clearly meant What Women Want, the historically successful movie starring Will Smith as a relationship consultant who drives around the wasteland in his V8 Interceptor.

Wow, this looks like it's from around the '70s! I wonder what magazine/newspaper it was featured in.

I have never heard of that before (I was born way after that, though). I wonder how such niche things get to lemmy users sometimes.

With the way enshittification is going, mining the past for forgotten gems will become more beneficial than ever.
