The image did not become popular of it's own accord. It was posted a few times with little fanfare. But what really made it popular was when most people forgot about the image and then somebody drew the OP picture from memory and everybody knew exactly what picture it was referring to despite the fact that they thought they had forgotten about it. It was still in their memory, even if they had no intention of remembering it. This involuntary recollection is what makes something a meme in the first place.
