      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

        didn’t get permission from the original author

        Tell me you don’t know xkcd without saying you don’t know xkcd. These comics are licensed as CC-BY-NC 2.5, which means you are allowed to remix and use them, without explicitly asking for permission, as long as you attribute the original/author (which is given here) and as long as you do it non-commercially (which is given for this post IMHO).

          Tell me you don’t know xkcd without saying you don’t know xkcd.

          tell me you’re completely uncreative without telling me you’re completely uncreative.

          the rest of what i said stands… but whooooa you “got me” i didn’t read the license on xkcd
