The Muffin Man, indigenous to BakeryTown (TM) is a rare and elusive character, only being seen when he wishes to be. There are many rumours as to why he is so private an individual. Some comment on his history, about a young muffin out to see the world. Young Muffin, anxious to learn more of the secrets of self-raising flour, made a pilgrimage to the far-off lands of Kitchonia. There he found that knowledge always comes at a price. Violated, yet now wise beyond his years, the Muffin Man returned to BakeryTown, a swathe of gingerbread women left half eaten in his path. Where he had discovered this brutish sweet-tooth, no-one is quite sure. They only know that the local constabulary was very interested in Mr. Man. He remained hidden from the public eye however, emerging periodically from his nihilistic, pugilistic lair to sate his culinary desires. Does loneliness eat away at him? Does he find himself devoured by loathing and regret? No-one truly knows, they only hear the morbid laughter and smacking of lips from deep underneath the candy-coated streets of BakeryTown (TM).
And they tremble.
Alternatively, it may be that the muffin man is in fact none other than Robert Downey Jr.
