"SoupySales" news and stories

Soupy Sales, the comedian responsible for 20,000 pies to the face, has died at the age of 83.

Sales, who built his comedic reputation with characters like White Fang and Black Tooth on children's TV shows in Detroit and New York, took his first cream pie to the face in 1951, the Associated Press reports. He died Thursday in a hospice in the Bronx, N.Y., after battling health problems.

"I'll probably be remembered for the pies, and that's all right," Sales said in 1985.
