I would think of him as Monster Inc kind of monster instead of man eating monster tbh

This is what happens when you make a character who eats cookies all the time and then one day you start telling him that “cookies are a sometimes food”.

So he starts only eating cookies “sometimes”. But he still gets hungry. His name isn’t the “sometimes Cookie Monster”.

They should have left it at, “C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me!”

Some monsters demand virgin sacrifices to keep them placated. Cookie Monster just wants cookies. If anything, the residents of Sesame Street got off lucky.

Is this based off of Saturn eating his son? Kind of reminds me of it
