Soupy Sales passed.

"The comedian acquired a cult-like following among adults with a show ostensibly meant for children. His signature routine, which he elevated to an art form, was pie-throwing."

An icon of my youth. Anyone else remember him?

I remember him and in his time he was pretty good.

I remember Soupy Sales. I haven't seen or heard anything from him since the 70's or early 80's. My grandmother LOVED Soupy.

I had an 8-track tape of him singing goofy songs. Seems like he was a regular on a few game shows after his own tv show had it's run. RIP

Wow, that is really sad. He is fondly in my childhood memories.
