Several bloggers[17] have noted that Tux bears a striking resemblance
with a cake template on the front cover of the Australian Womans
Weekly "Party Animals" [4], a cake recipe book published by ACP
Magazines. The design is titled "The Penguin Prince" and no credit is
given. ACP later acknowledged the similarity and added they lost track
of the original template designer[18].
