It is with a sad heart that we pass along the
following news.
Please join us in remembering a great icon of the
entertainment community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast
infection and complications from repeated pokes in the
belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.
Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects,
including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the
California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess
Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled
high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly
described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he
was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business,
but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was
not considered a very 'smart' cookie, wasting much of
his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a
little flaky at times he still, as a crusty old man,
was considered a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two
children, John Dough and Jane Dough; plus they had one
in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly
father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for
about 20 minutes.
