Soupy Sales Dies at 83

Black Fang and White Fang are grunting in sorrow today. Soupy Sales, the '60s kids' show icon who would go on to appear on nearly all of those '70s semi-celebrity game shows you see on Game Show Network, died yesterday in a Bronx hospital. He was 83.
Though his shows were off the air long before I was born, I still somehow have fond, vague memories of his puppet friends and the innumerable pies he took to the face. Were reruns aired at some point in the '80s, or was I an amnesiac child time traveler? Either way, let's do "The Mouse" in his honor:
