    I know it says “based on” an xkcd comic, but this feels like a blatant ripoff

      Xkcd comics are published under one of the CC licenses (forget which one). It’s arguable this kind of thing may be an intended reuse.

      I mean, the author was good enough to actually made a decent edit of it that doesn’t feel cheap, and did put proper credits at it Hard for me to consider it a ripoff

          That… that is the punchline. It being the same punchline is the punchline of this joke. It’s commentary as humor.

      So how would you make a homage at an old jobs by bringing it into the now times without copying the joke and replacing parts of it?
