When the Cookie Monster senses cookies it's like a force of nature. Essentially that's what this re-print from Redditor Put_It_All_On_Red is trying to get at with this re-imagination of a classic print.

Next to Elmo, it's Cookie Monster who garners the most attention in the pop culture sphere as a Sesame Street character. We've seen the big blue beast on shows like SNL and even Family Guy, his insatiable hunger has been the butt of many jokes.

In this re-design of the famous Great Wave of Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai we see the Cookie Monster become bigger than life by becoming a humongous wave. Of course it wouldn't be a Cookie Monster tribute without cookies so there are a few random cookies thrown in there for good measure as well.
