Then all around from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat. So he gave up being king of where the wild things are. But the wild things cried ”oh please don’t go — we will eat you up — we love you so.”

For those who don't know, this is an illustration from a children's book version of Swan Lake. The illustrator was the late Trina Schart Hyman, who, pretty much like Maurice Sendak, seemed to push the boundaries of what's deemed safe for kids and God bless her for it.
