I like that the image already contains the credit twice (props for those crops, whoever did it), but you put it into your comment a third time to be sure. Good bird!
when ripping comics off the internet, it’s important to give credit where its due. I probably should have credited the person I ripped it from, and they probably should have redited whoever they ripped it from, who ripped it from Safely Endangered…
Given that all those rips didn’t add anything to the original work, I’d argue they don’t strictly require credit. They’re not really derivative works, but rather reproductions of the original.
I can see the logic behind crediting “this is where I got it from” as proximate source in addition to naming the ultimate source. In academic contexts, it’s certainly important to specify where you quoted someone from to make your sources transparent in addition to naming the original source. This isn’t an academic context, however, so I wouldn’t consider it warranted.
I don’t really disagree, I’m not even sure where it came from, honestly. The first search result from whatever term I used? (“comic Kirby eating doctor”?) mostly being somewhat facetious in the chain of shameless ripping.

It’s an interesting consideration, to be sure.
