Yeah, straight-up reposting images in bulk like that is one of those crimes that people do thoughtlessly, but all over the place without even realizing it's a copyright violation, or not even caring that it is one.
The bot should be posting links to the comic pages and let mastodon's multimedia stuff extract preview images.
Anything other than that may be "convenient", but is ultimately entirely self-serving at the detriment of the people whose work the bot is using.
