Cookie Puss is the life of every pawty!

Marc Fisher heralds the expansion of the Carvel ice-cream franchise in DC, several people clarify that it was in the area all along, and a commenter identifying himself only as "Tom Carvel" mentions that the ads featuring the real Tom Carvel's ravaged voice used to run all the time on WDCA-20 in between the Jhoon Rhee martial arts ads, as partiallyclips and others can undoubtedly confirm.

The nature of Carvel's ads tended to make people think they were a purely local phenomenon. I can crack Sam up by launching into a sixteen-pack-a-day spiel about Fudgie the Whale, and she was initially surprised that he wasn't just a New England institution.

Confirmed. I used to watch them all the time between cartoons on the Channel 20 Club Show with TV's Captain 20 (whom I've hung out with a few times this past year).

Even though it was cake and ice cream, I never remember drooling over it. It was just sort of these odd, glossy forms they showed us over and over. I'd sooner drool over a Sit n Spin.

Yeah, I remember finding Cookie Puss kind of disturbing. Especially when Cookie Puss spoke, in a weird electronically distorted voice if I recall correctly.
