Vincent van Dough



Vincent van Dough is the famous cookie artist who spoofs Vincent van Gogh, as seen in the Sesame Street special, The Cookie Thief. Among his works are A Starry Cookie Night, Cookie Flowers, Self Portrait and The Cookie Eaters, the latter of which is featured in a flashback.

In his studio in Belgium, Vincent is ready to paint The Cookie Eaters and has his assistant Grover bring the 5 cookies needed. However, Grover ends up bringing potatoes and waffles, frustrating the artist. Grover gets out his snack bag, which happens to have enough cookies. Vincent paints as the subjects get their cookies, leaving Grover to fumble over how to snack on a potato.
