Isn’t kirby an amoeba according to matpat?
I once read about a theory that Kirby was the opposite of DarkMatter. DarkMatter being pure evil and Kirby being pure kindness.
Also, Kirby survived several exploding planets and destroyed a Man-Made god the size of a Star… okay now that I thought about that, Kirby’s pretty dope.
Kirby is like an eldritch god, but kawaii.
Full circle to cephalopod
supposedly there’s some super being that absorbs emotions, and when it absorbs extremely strong emotions it generates a new being to contain those emotions. dark matter was the result of it absorbing hate, while kirby was the result of it absorbing love.

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.
It’s an interesting consideration, to be sure.
