FRAME 3 | Cookie has finished the cookie dough and places the tray in the oven, then suffers the agony of waiting for them to finish. | |
Muppets | Telly Monster demonstrates "Fast" and "Slow" to Cookie Monster by using a plate of cookies. To demonstrate slow, Telly eats one of the cookies in slow bites. After finishing eating, he asks Cookie Monster to eat a cookie slowly. Cookie Monster gives it a try, but ends up gobbling all the cookies on the plate. Telly considers it to be fast rather than slow, but Cookie Monster says it was slow in his opinion. (First: Episode 3253) | |

FRAME 9 | Now that the cookies are gone, Cookie realizes he has nothing to sell in the bakery. He comes to terms that he may never sell any cookies, but he'll still make plenty of "dough."
