A cartoonist who goes by the name of Drew who writes and draws a daily online feature called “Toothpaste for Dinner” noticed that the Twitter account of the international ad agency Ogilvy & Mather used a drawing that looked very similar to something he’d done in the past:

The Ogilvy tweet was deleted without acknowledgement (so far), but here’s the drawing Ogilvy used compared to the original:
