I was gonna say Pepe obviously started as a little green tadpole .... but the great Google says:
"Pepe the Frog is a comic character and Internet meme created by cartoonist Matt Furie. Designed as a green anthropomorphic frog with a humanoid body usually wearing a blue t-shirt, Pepe originated in Furie's 2005 webcomic Boy's Club. The character became an Internet meme when his popularity steadily grew"
See my link above, he is definitely not just created recently by Furie :-)
But the Pepe iteration was from the Furie comic. Tying it into the ancient Kek deity was glimmer on later. It's like there's 2 questions, the origin of Pepe, and the origin of Kek as Pepe.
Got it - I was thinking the origins of KEK. But ya, Currie was serendipitous to the whole evolution of PEPE :-)
