“Sesame Avenue”: Characters from the New Sesame Workshop Show for People in Their Thirties


Lulu the Estimated-Taxes Monster
Every time Lulu shows up, she makes you guess how much you owe her. If you’re off, she makes you pay more in “late fees.” You don’t understand the game, but you still pay her.


Mr. Mole
Mr. Mole gives unwanted opinions on your moles, and whether or not they look suspect. He almost always suggests that you get them biopsied.


Dowdy Bird
Dowdy Bird is the little bird that encourages women over thirty to wear caftans. She thinks they “hide everything you want hidden.” In her time off, she’s a spokeswoman for Chico’s.


Great Scott the Giant Knot
Great Scott is terrified of coming undone. He’s incredibly anxious, and keeps twisting himself up even tighter. But at least he’s not unravelling! RIGHT?!


Bookey
Oh, no!!! Here comes Bookey! Bookey is the tough guy of “Sesame Avenue.” Bookey is a stack of unread books that lives by a bed and haunts the other characters with the stress of not reading enough. To make Bookey less scary, use the magic word “Kindle”!


Counter McClock
Counter McClock helps calculate how old babies are. He knows that a baby who is fifty-two weeks old is a one-year-old. If you’re three hundred and eighty-three months, you’re almost thirty-two years old. And, if you’re a thirty-six-month-old, you just turned three. Thanks, Counter!


Treaty Sweetie
You deserve a little, sweet treat whenever you’re feeling bad. Treaty Sweetie is a buzzy, little bug that drops off good treats for sad thirty-plus-year-olds. You deserve it! Just this once! And also twenty more times today. Seriously, you do! Also, you might want to consider antidepressants.


Big Dish
Big Dish is never satisfied with her dishes. She always wants more dishes! More mugs! Give Big Dish more delicate coupes for the dinner party that she will never have!!! This home-goods lover is never satiated! Nom, nom, nom, where are her individual ramekins?!


Marmo
Marmo is a heating pad.
