is this an original xkcd comic and if so, what is the link?

Postby whoami » Mon Mar 21, 2011 1:18 pm UTC

I found a comic on the net that looks like an xkcd comic, but I have never seen it on xkcd before and I can't find it when searching possible comic titles.

It's here: http://themothbox.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/moral-relativism-in-a-nutshell.jpg

The text in the comic is written in a different style than most xkcd comics though. Does anyone know the permanent link to the comic if it is an xkcd one?

Thanks.

I do not believe it's an xkcd comic, but it does look like xkcd art. While you are allowed to remix the comic under the license, you do have to attribute it. Which means someone needs to point that out to TheMothBox, I guess. I'll check with the other moderation staff and see what's standard here.

That's interesting. If it suits you, let me know the decision. I'm using the comic in a (academic) presentation tomorrow - I suppose I can call it a 'counterfeit' (in a tongue-in-cheek manner)?
