Who made this illustration? I'd like to use it for a talk about the fediverse I'm asked to hold in two weeks. Please RT.


@viennawriter did a bit of bloom scrolling (not least to test out @pachli|'s more advanced search options), and the oldest my client could find was from 2022: https://mastodon.social/@kcarruthers/109554466980154832
Maybe @kcarruthers still remember where they found it? #picturehunting (?)

@viennawriter there's an old thread (nov 2022) here:
Aaron Toponce ⚛️:debian: (@atoponce@fosstodon.org)
Attached: 2 images How it started: How it's going:
Fosstodon (fosstodon.org)
with a comment that the masto one is derived from an original by a 'Shooley' but still no one there knows who added the mastodon.

@bottla @viennawriter sorry, I don't know who exactly ... this was sh* post on the base of a meme that evolved gradually (the flames replaced by the plants, then the dog by the mastodon, then I added the signature ... /o\ )

@olm_e
So you just added the "Jhon" signature at the bottom right? And did not create the rest of the meme?
I thought for more than 3 1/2yrs that the NON-cropped version you posted with the artist's signature was the ORIGINAL one, also because the picture is much sharper than the other ones.
The handle of the one who made the main part (replacing the dog with the Mastodon mascot) must be one of the longest unsolved mysteries on the #Fediverse. I tried to figure it out last year, but to no avail. It's also one of my most favorite Fediverse memes.
Edit: From what the other replies to this whole thread indicate, then @TheAtheistAlien must be the original artist who put in the Mastodon mascot. Unfortunately, it looks like they is not longer around here, last post is from Jan 2023 and makes one worry, hope all is fine with them
