The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes in the stomach. He was 71. They buried Doughboy in a lightly greased coffin. Piles of flours decorated the gravesite.

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. 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. Not considered a very smart cookie, he wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite of 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 in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
