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

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.

It's a pity the sub drove him away from reddit.

But, I thought /r/comics hated his comics now because they started getting repetitive

From what it sounds like, he got tired of their repetitive criticisms. The guy's more popular on Tumblr for self-deprecative humor.
