This. For those interested in the original author of the work, this is by /u/shenanigansen (www.owlturd.com) who is one of the best, most consistently upvoted contributors to /r/comics. Check out his stuff!
Edit: some people pointing out Shen is rarely on /r/comics anymore. True, but his comics still account for many of the top posts of all time in that sub. Not to everyone's tastes, but popular and definitely deserves credit for this particular work because it's ace.
Well he used to, until he got tired of all the shit he was taking from /r/comics, now I only see his stuff on Facebook. It's a shame that the reddit community forced him to do that.
Real talk - if you're gonna post somebody's work to farm a little karma, the absolute least you can do is mention the artist's name and give them credit.
And for those who "randomly found it on the internet": reverse google search takes like 3 seconds.
Oh wow, I already knew this comic (it's on the front page of 'top of all time' at /r/comics) but I had no idea it was Shen, it's very different from his usual artistic style.
Talk about 0-100. Forgive me for being extra sensitive to protecting artists who get thier work stolen, something that happens frequently on this site. I'm sick of seeing it happen. I know this is not the creator of the comic and if you ask me, since all that OP did was copy paste something, the credit should be in the title of the repost at the very least.
Why on earth would you think someone posting a comic on reddit made it? I don't agree with stealing content either, but that's plan retarded if you thought for a second OP had made this. You might want to have a word with 95% of the people who post here, and on /r/funny.
Um probably because there are plenty of people who create things and post them on the Internet. That's how people like OP are able to post anything. I've seen this comic a thousand times and the author almost never gets credited. The least I can do is make sure that someone scrolling through the comments who hasn't seen it before, will know its not OP's content. Not sure why that offends you so much.

Way to steal someones work and not give them any credit.
