This is how the viral blogosphere effect works: Johnny C. unearths a 1947 Life magazine article and this makes for a great entry in his Hole in the Head blog about famous cartoonists trying to draw their famous creations with their eyes shut. He posted it on Sunday.
OK, since I'm a regular reader of Johnny's great blog, I post a link here, on the Mike Lynch Cartoons blog. Journalista! posts a link to Johnny's blog with a hat tip to me. Drawn posts a link. Newsarama posts a link. And then BoingBoing posts it.

And now here I am, reporting on the reporting; letting you know that Johnny's gotten a ton of hits. This is the first time I've seen something like this go "viral," as they say. It's weird!
UPDATE: Johnny's reaction on his rollercoaster ride to blogdom fame here.
