Using the occasion of my birthday to brush up on Cookie Puss lore
Wikipedia entry excerpt for Carvel cake character Cookiepuss. Highlighted section reads: According to Carvel's backstory for the characters, Cookie Puss is a space alien who was born on planet Birthday. His original name was "Celestial Perosn" but the initials "C.P." later came to stand for "Cookie Puss".

Not super into fan casting my own stories, but ever since watching SHRINK I can’t help but think a young Tim Baltz with glasses would be a perfect Chris. He even natively has the Chicago suburbs accent
