Did Banksy draw or write this? What's the connection?

EDIT: Here's an explanation from the artist who drew the comic:

This quote was taken from Banksy’s 2004 book Cut It Out. Some of the passage was inspired/appropriated from an essay by artist Sean Tejaratchi. I rearranged the last couple of sentences for this comic.

You mean the banksy that just had a huge expo in Glasgow? That was advertised all over the place? That published a book this year that was actually copyrighted?

That Banksy?

19 years and massive commercial success does that to you. I believe 2004 Banksy would describe that as being "a fucking sellout" or something.

I suppose I do. That's kind of disappointing.
