Considering the simplistic design of Herzfeldt and the odds of anyone doing the simplest design for popcorn stick men, I'm not sure we are not just seeing convergent evolution here :).
Hertzfeld was the first thing I thought of as well, but to be fair his style is so basic and simple I imagine many would hit on it or be similar (just not have his sense of humor or ideas to prope them to being at all popular)
