The screenshot is derived from one of the many episodes of "The Penguins of Madagascar," a television series based on the "Madagascar" family films.
The earliest use of this image to make it a meme dates back to August 4, 2014. Twitter user @ChellieBoomBoom tweeted about a mental notebook with accompanying text alluding to being very analytical when observing people placed above the image of Kowalski and his notepad.
