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 of every kind. Aunt Jemima delivered the
eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a figure who never knew how much
he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life
was filled with turnovers, and critics often panned him. 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 one they
had in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
