Why did somebody actively edit out her name?

In this case it was most likely she herself. The original black and white comic has the name, but the colorized version was most likely been taken from her shop (link), which doesn't feature the name.

I'm however impressed by how utterly the person copying the picture messed up the picture. Not only is the crop completely awful, but they also tried to "restore" the comic by giving it a digital look, over-saturating everything in the process, including the JPEG artifacts of the original photo.
