This painting is inspired by the ongoing tensions between Kermit and Cookie Monster during their appearances together on Sesame Street. The composition of the two figures is directly influenced by Saturn Devouring His Son, the iconic work by Spanish artist Francisco Goya.

I edited an interaction to illustrate the toxic dynamic between the two characters during a segment addressing emotional expression. This exchange represents a key moment that contributed to Cookie Monster and Kermit's predicament, as both characters lose control of their emotions.

Kermit lost control, and so did Cookie.
