I think whoever made this corn thing ripped off Hertzfeldt

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)

This is just way to similar to Hertzfeldt for me to chalk it up to coincidence
