I have only a passing familiarity with Carvel* but I do at least know that they have branded characters. In fact almost the only thing I know about Carvel is the fact that they have an ice cream cake called Cookie Puss***. Which is obviously dreadul, but when placed in its proper context alongside Sassy-Sundae and Big Daddy Thick Shake, does at least confirm that Carvel had a consistent theme.
*The ice cream franchise, not the John Frusciante** song. I am very familiar with the John Frusciante song.
**The guitarist that keeps trying to quit the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He doesn’t appear to have much of a sense of humour unless you count the tracks on his solo albums that are pranks****, so I have no idea why he named a song after ice cream.
***Frusciante also did a song called Your Pussy’s Glued To A Building On Fire. I can’t confirm whether or not that one is also about ice cream; lyrics are an area where Frusciante’s genius failed him.
****At least two songs on Shadows Collide With People begin with atonal static bollocks. One of them resolves after thirty seconds and becomes a lovely tune, the other remains atonal static bollocks for the entire four minutes.
I’m so glad someone remembers the Cookie Puss.
Our world is losing its ability to remember Johnny Carvel (pronounced Jawny Cahhvell) tellin’ da kids to ask for a Cookie Puss or Fudgie da Whale for der buthday.
Artist: Boss, can I draw the
Boss: No, you absolutely can’t draw any of the female ice creams sexy, this is for kids
Artist: But boss! Look at this pic of the Banana Barge
Artist: It’s literally a pair of tits. Surrounded by two dicks.
Boss: ….Fine. You can draw the Banana Barge sexy. As a distraction.
Boss: But make her Latina. Dames in kids stuff are allowed to be sexy if they are Latina.
Boss: It is, after all, the fift…seventies? That can’t be right
Big Sammy doesn’t need to worry. Ice cream is the snack that dies, being a golem won’t change that. If he wants to die all he needs to do is wait, just like the rest of us.
