It is with the saddest heart that I pass on the following news. Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.

 The Pilsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection, and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough. Who has a bun in the oven.

He is survived by his  elderly father, Pop Tart.

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, very lovingly described Doughboy as a man who 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.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for 20 minutes.
