When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
I know that it's probalby not what you're looking for but, the eating everything in sight, leading into eating whole plantes reminds me of this comic strip
from 1987.
Hi! I joined this forum just because of this thread!! I have been trying to find out what this animated short is for over two decades. When I was very young, I remember seeing it on HBO in between films. I also remember when he ate the sun, his mouth caught fire.
I am hoping that by keeping this thread going, someone will know what we're talking about...PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you.

An animated short, possibly Hungarian. I saw it on Night Flight some time in the 80s or 90s. There was no dialogue. In it, a man in a white suit begins eating everything in sight in a fancy restaurant and growing to the size of a giant. He eventually consumes the whole earth and begins eating planets, stars, etc. Finally he’s racked with pain and transforms into a a cooking egg on a frying pan. Anyone know the title of this short?
