if they make it almost exactly the same and “credit” it in the smallest font possible and didn’t get permission from the original author… i would say that’s definitely a ripoff
Tell me you don’t know xkcd without saying you don’t know xkcd.

quoth wikipedia: “A parody is a creative work designed to imitate, comment on, and/or mock its subject by means of satirical or ironic imitation.” … “The literary theorist Linda Hutcheon said ‘parody … is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text.’”
Is it a ripoff if they credit the original?
Are you implying that the credit is here? If so, where? I am not seeing it.
Lower right corner.
Shocked the title of the original isn’t Little Bobby Tables.
Yeah, that’s the name of the character, but not the comic strip.
I honestly didn’t notice that - it was a bit small and pixelated, good catch
Thanks!:-)

It’s a parody
It’s not a parody. It’s a homage
It’s not a homage, it’s just the exact same joke.
But updated for our new hellscape!
How is this a parody? It’s not poking fun at the original or pointing out its flaws.

yeah, and that’s not a parody.
