Link to the source, for pete's sake. And then you can post the imgur link in the comments. But seriously, these guys can always use the traffic that we give them, and they don't get it when redditors repost the comics only on imgur.

So be considerate, link to the source.

[–]felipeds 4 points5 points ago

In this comment you assume the op knows the source and did not just repost this from another post he did not even read the comments from. I would like to point out that your assumption is not necessarily correct.

[–]Farmerj0hn 2 points3 points ago

Who's Pete?

[–]Gabe14228 1 point2 points ago

Pete's the internet god of sources. And he gets mad when people don't link to the original source.

[–]neodiogenes 2 points3 points ago*

Is it just me or is this one by far the best of these comics? Granted I've only looked at ten or so, but if I hadn't seen Tiny Hippo first I wouldn't have been interested.

[Edit] Okay, to be fair this one is pretty accurate. And this.

[Edit] Nevermind. There are a number of gems hidden in the weeds. I was mistaken.

[–]waffels 18 points19 points ago

No way, I like the current way its done when someone posts an imgur link, then in the comments someone makes a huge fucking stink about how they never gave the artists credit. Makes it fun.

[–]LIAATPYSIW 2 points3 points ago

We'll stop making a stink about it when people stop rehosting and hotlinking every damn post they make to Imgur.

[–]3lementaru 4 points5 points ago

Unrealistic. We all know imgur links get orders of magnitude more karma.

[–]LIAATPYSIW 0 points1 point ago

And I do my part to change that by downvoting damn near every non-OC post hosted on Imgur. That's also a part of the reason I seldom venture into bigger reddits like this.

[–]kewidogg 1 point2 points ago

The adventure begins again!

[–]Rainbowsareghey 0 points1 point ago

Why are all the comments on the webpage in Korean or by Koreans?

[–]hecklingfext -1 points0 points ago

So that Reddit can come and dump on their servers, resulting in only the first couple thousand seeing it before the rest get the dreaded 403 and the source has to scramble to get their shit back up because of a Reddit-bomb. Yeah, I'll just stick to imgur thanks much

Tiny Hippo and repost Train

[–]theyetithe 7 points8 points ago

Thanks for the repost I had not seen it before.

[–]apullin 1 point2 points ago

Why are you thanking me? I didn't repost it. The OP reposted it. You're just trying to get comment exposure by glomming on to my comment ...

[–]theyetithe 1 point2 points ago

Monkey banana raffle

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

go on ...

[–]theyetithe 0 points1 point ago

...that's it. That's my argument.

[–]yosem1te 2 points3 points ago

Same here.

[–]uglydavie 2 points3 points ago

A wonderful retelling of the classic tale:"Itty Bitty Baby; Itty Bitty Boat."

[–]WinabegoWarrior 6 points7 points ago

is this a hate crime since the raven is black?

[–]evanthesquirrel 20 points21 points ago

I posted this a month ago and mine linked to the original author instead of IMGUR. Don't rehost, give credit where credit's due. http://poorlydrawnlines.com/

ninja edit. Yes, I think my shit don't stink, moving on.

[–]Brimmk 2 points3 points ago

It always, and I mean always makes me laugh. There's just something so inherently funny about corrupting what is initially taken for wholesome and pure children's literature.

[–]ariheretic 0 points1 point ago

Every single time I see it, I giggle uncontrollably. There's something so hilarious about Tiny Hippo and his impassive face in the last panel, with the phrase "Ain't no one."

[–]Jellowarrior 7 points8 points ago

damn nature you scary

[–]AnonymousHipopotamus 1 point2 points ago

Nature is beautiful and wondrous.

But, bitches better learn not to mess with hippos.

[–]Dmigs -4 points-3 points ago

Still a better love story than twilight

[–]BakulaSelleck92 3 points4 points ago

That must be one really tiny hippo, if a tiny raven is bigger than it.

[–]TheMagicUpvoteFairy 1 point2 points ago

It's a tiny version of the already pygmy hippo.

[–]Spartacus476 1 point2 points ago

Damn straight!

[–]ArcanumIE 1 point2 points ago

So wait, if the are all an equal ratio to their non tiny counter parts, and the raven is larger than the tiny hippo, then that normal raven is HUGE!

[–]BoozasaurusRex 1 point2 points ago

repost.

[–]JohnDoeNuts 4 points5 points ago

Ain't no one.

[–]cecilx22 1 point2 points ago

Very nice, but please, people, when you post these things, try to post them from the source website so the creators can make a little jink on 'em:

[–]vivvav 0 points1 point ago

Because I've seen it before, it can't possibly be funny!

[–]thereandwhereagain 0 points1 point ago

If they made this into a film, I would watch it every day for the rest of my life. It has everything.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I have seen this reposted so many times, but it's so good!

[–]RedundantUserError 0 points1 point ago

That bitch-ass raven got what was coming to him. Nobody fucks with Tiny Hippo's bitches and then lives to be snitches.

[–]I_I_Z_I_I 0 points1 point ago

I was really sad because I miss my friends who transferred school because of some problems and when I read the raven stole his train I cried... Then I Lol'd when he crawled up the oak tree.

[–]mylittleponyfap 0 points1 point ago

Hippo is the one who knocks!!

[–]Thunderape 0 points1 point ago

I thought it would have been better if it stopped after the fourth panel.

[–]Risay_117 -4 points-3 points ago

REPOST-watch me get so many downvotes. Still Funny.

[–]reallymadgoat 1 point2 points ago

I disagree.

[–]Potato3s -2 points-1 points ago

I want to get this tattooed on my brain.

[–]gotroublemaker -1 points0 points ago

i did not see that coming...

[–]eatscakeontuesdays -4 points-3 points ago

What did the raven get stabbed with? A led?

[–]IIdsandsII 0 points1 point ago

If you zoom in, you can see that the blade is a slightly different color than the sky in the background.

[–]eatscakeontuesdays 0 points1 point ago

That's not as cool. :( I was hoping they were trying to light it up like a potato.

[–]IIdsandsII 0 points1 point ago

I hear ya. Anyway, I had to zoom in to see that. It did look a bit like an LED.
