Yeah it's perfectly fine. And just leaving the signature is too. The discussion is mostly around that one troll actively removing signatures when they exist because "that's an ad".
I hadn't read the discussion but saw there was one and had wondered why anyone would want to remove an artist's signature. That's crazy. What a weird world view.
Depending on the situation, sure. If the comic doesn't have a signature in the margins already (like XKCD) then credit in the title/body. If the signature is in the margins, and cropped out, then that's bad form. Comics are often re-shared and the title/body doesn't always come along.
After you remove the signature from the comics, credit is going to quickly get lost as the re-posts happen.
They clearly meant What Women Want, the historically successful movie starring Will Smith as a relationship consultant who drives around the wasteland in his V8 Interceptor.

Wait, why isn't the author's name scrubbed off? We're giving them credit now??? (/s, just in case)

I saw that there was some discussion about this the other day, but this community moves so fast that I didn't catch all the details.
My unsolicited 0.02 is that crediting in the title or body seems reasonable whenever the artist's signature/watermark isn't present.

I would only remove when it's one of those cases where the artist is a tremendous piece of shit, but the comic or edited meme is good

I don't think I'd even post the comic of someone I knew to be terrible.

I'm glad it has the name of the comic and the artist visible. I just went to check out some of the comics, they are so cute!

Wow, this looks like it's from around the '70s! I wonder what magazine/newspaper it was featured in.
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world · 48 pts · 143d
It was apparently a Hungarian comic that ran from 1957-1970. I only recently encountered it for the first time.

I have never heard of that before (I was born way after that, though). I wonder how such niche things get to lemmy users sometimes.

With the way enshittification is going, mining the past for forgotten gems will become more beneficial than ever.

Now that's a weird alteration of the name Jessica. Or is this where Jessica came from?
