![]() ![]() In January 2013, artist Marlo Meekins posted a series of similar instructional drawings to her Tumblr. In May, an instructional image using artwork by late cartoonist Burne Hogarth was posted on Ki Creative Studio and in September, another variation of the owl image was shared on Flickr. In April 2012, an interpretation of the Owl image created with the mobile gaming app Draw Something was posted to the /r/DrawSome subreddit. The post has received more than 7,200 notes and was featured on the curated Comics tag. ![]() On January 5th, 2012, one of the first derivative instructional images was posted to Tumblr by artist Van Oktop providing a guide to drawing a horse. In June 2011, it was reposted to /r/Funny, but only accrued 19 points overall. Throughout the rest of 2010, the image continued to spread on DamnLOL, Democratic Underground and MemeCenter. In August 2010, the owl image was reposted on FunnyJunk, Buzzfeed and deviantART. This comic was first published in 1997 as part of The Tick Omnibus and shared online as early as 2008. The top comment on the post pointed out a similarity to a comic featuring parody superhero the Tick (shown below, right), in which artist Ben Edlund instructs readers to draw the tick by first drawing an oval with a line in it, followed by drawing the Tick holding the oval. The post received 1,787 upvotes, 893 points overall and 124 comments prior to being archived. The illustrator behind the instruction remains unknown, however, the earliest known instance of the image was hosted on a Tumblr blog and submitted to the /r/Pics subreddit on August 21st, 2010.
