Obituary

Veteran Pillsbury spokesman Pop N. Fresh died yesterday of a severe yeast infection; he was 71. Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent years. Dozens of celebrities turned out including Mrs. Butterworth, The California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker and the Hostess Twinkies.

The graveside was piled high with flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers.

He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half- baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, Fresh was a roll model for millions. He is survived by his second wife. They have two children and one in the oven.

ANSWERS FROM PAGE 57: YOU’RE GOING TO CALL ME WHAT?

1 On TV’s Family Guy, Brian Griffin is an 8-year old talking white Labrador who has lived with the Griffin family since Peter picked him up as a stray. He has the ability to speak intelligently, drive a car, and walk bipedally. He also has a particularly sharp wit. Peter is his best friend, despite Brian’s vastly superior intelligence. Brian went to Brown University in Rhode Island, but did not graduate. He has a cultured background, loves opera and jazz, and speaks fluent French. He is also a member of MENSA.

2 The first couple of animated dogs, Lady and the Tramp is a 1955 American animated musical romance film produced by Walt Disney. It showed us that even dogs need love and companionship from their own kind. It was the 15th Disney animated feature film and tells the story of a female American Cocker Spaniel named Lady who lives with a refined, upper-middle-class family, and a male stray mongrel called the Tramp. When not pushing meatballs with their noses and eating spaghetti, Lady and the Tramp fell in love and eventually had a litter of their own (spearheaded by the aptly named Scamp).

3 Underdog was an American animated television series that ran from 1964 until 1973. Normally, he spent his time as “Shoe Shine Boy” and was just that. But when he took one of his super power pills, he transformed into Underdog and saved his love interest, news reporter Sweet Polly Purebred. His nemesis was usually Simon Bar Sinister or Riff Raff, and the storylines were always pretty much the same, but there was usually a lesson to be learned at some point in the show. Underdog nearly always spoke in rhyming couplets such as, “There’s no need to fear, Underdog is here!” His voice was supplied by Wally Cox.

4 Created by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1969, this Saturday-morning cartoon series featured four teenagers— Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Norville “Shaggy” Rogers—and their talking brown Great Dane named Scooby-Doo, who solve mysteries involving (supposedly) supernatural creatures through a series of antics and missteps.

When not being bribed with Scooby Snacks, Scooby and Shaggy could be found running in terror from what always ended up being somebody in a costume scaring the locals.

While Scooby’s mysterysolving prowess is debatable, his pop-culture status is undeniable with treats bearing his image are available for both people and dogs.

5 When it comes to animated dogs, nobody is more iconic than Snoopy - Charlie Brown’s pet beagle in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. They have been a part of our lives since 1950.When not working as a mascot for MetLife and for Aerospace Safety, Snoopy and the Peanuts gang managed to appear in numerous comic strips and in some of the most iconic cartoons ever, many of which are still enjoyed to this day by a new generation of children. Snoopy is loyal, innocent, imaginative and good-natured and is prone to imagining fantasy lives, including being an author, a college student known as “Joe Cool” and a British World War I “flying ace” . He can be selfish, gluttonous, and lazy at times, and occasionally mocks Charlie Brown, but on the whole shows great love, care, and loyalty for his owner (even though he cannot even remember his name and always refers to him as “The Round-Headed Kid”).

6 Santa’s Little Helper is a recurring character in the American animated television series The Simpsons. He is their pet greyhound who was introduced in the first episode of the show in 1989 (“Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire”), in which his owner abandons him for finishing last in a greyhound race. Homer Simpson and his son Bart, who are at the race track in hope of winning some money for Christmas presents, see this and decide to adopt the dog. Often neglected, Santa’s Little Helper, is charming, but poorly trained.

7 Odie is a yellow-furred, browneared wire-haired dachshund/ terrier mix who appears in the comic strip Garfield by Jim Davis. He has also appeared in the animated television and feature films. He has a large tongue and slobbers in his appearances. After October 1997, he began walking regularly on two feet, instead of all fours like Garfield. While certainly not the main star of the series, Odie has been a participant (sometimes willing, sometimes not), in many of Garfield’s hijinks. Though Garfield has usually gotten the better of his good and simple nature, on a number of occasions Odie has shown surprising ingenuity in getting revenge on Garfield.

8 The Ren a& Stimpy Show was a staple on Nickelodeon for many years beginning in 1990, Marland T.“Ren” Höek is a scrawny ‘asthma-hound chihuahua with a floppy body, donkey-like ears, neon-pink eyes with dark red pupils, red (or sometimes light brown) eyelids) and a fairly long, rat-like, pink tail who often calls Stimpy (a cat) an idiot (“eeeediot” to quote the character) and slaps him around, quite literally. He is vain, spiteful, hyperactive, abusive and he has a short fuse (especially with Stimpy). His lifelong ambition is to have huge pectoral muscles.

Riparian Rights vs. Littoral Rights. ... If the body of water is in movement, as a stream or river, the abutting owner is called a riparian owner. If the water is not flowing, as in the case of a pond, lake or ocean, the abutting owner is called a littoral owner. The word riparian literally means “riverbank.” Contributing Editor Tony Barbieri’s Legal View looks at these rights under Texas law. Contributing Editor Rose-Mary Rumbley’s Herstory looks at Tyler, Texas, so named because Tyler was the president when Texas came into the union. Interesting stories about the city and the president. Contributing Editor Angela O’Byrne’s Amazing Buildings looks at the Michigan Central Depot train station in Detroit, which is slated to be completely revitalized for the Ford Motor Company. Mike Ebbitt of Lee & Associates will offer an overview of the current economic and business environment and look at trends in the office marketplace.
