What’s the source? You really ought to link to the original artist when you post cartoons. I can barely make out the signature.

It is Matt Bors. His name and the cartoon collective website thenib.com are on the third panel.

What signature?

chigau, there is a tiny signature in the third panel, as Singham said. I couldn’t quite make out the url.
Singham, thank you. I don’t mean to sound harsh, but I think it’s generally considered just good etiquette to link to the original site when reblogging others’ work. Yes, there is usually a signature somewhere on the picture, but it can be hard to read, and still requires the reader to search for the author. Tom the Dancing Bug is pretty famous, and Bors isn’t exactly obscure, but I don’t really follow them and there may be a lot of young’uns who have never heard of them. A link makes it easier for readers to find the source, and, like I said, is just standard etiquette. I hope this doesn’t come off as too fussy.

ionopachys, FWIW, I think you made a very good point, the which I entirely endorse.

No, you raised a good point. I had assumed that Bors was well known and that his name was clearly visible but if there is any doubt about that in future I’ll add it.
