Pete is adding so much humor here, I'm glad he was included in the screenshot
Nobody:
God, I hate that meme format so much. It adds absolutely fucking nothing. It's insufferable.

Everybody: "Nobody:"
Standard bluesky post
It's notable that Pete is using bluesky at least..
I've been doing my best to crop out twitter stuff from memes and comics before I send them on. If you post on Twitter you deserve no attribution. The site needs to die.
I think if you post someone else's comic without adding anything to it, you deserve no attribution either. Pete is getting attention for something he didn't do.
If it were Tumblr, he'd be the "I reblog this every time" comment at the bottom of the screenshot. If it were tiktok, he'd be the guy green screened in front of the comic pointing and saying nothing. And it were early internet, he'd be the guy downloading it from SomethingAwful and adding a watermark of his website.
But really, I don't have a problem with Pete. The thing that irrationally bugs me is including him in the screenshot when the only content is the comic itself. BUT...whenever I see these, I assume it's the person adding nothing who took the screenshot. It's marketing..."please follow me on social media, I want to be an influencer"
