About This Item

History of the Pillsbury Doughboy
The Pillsbury Doughboy was created by an ad agency called Leo Burnett. Pacific Data Images, a pioneer in the world of computer graphics for film and video, created the animated version of the figure for the commercials. Chet Noice, a freelance artist from Minneapolis, MN, had written and drawn a story about a doughboy character and later sold the rights to Pillsbury. The story was about a baker who lovingly created a very special batch of dough. The dough when left to rise overnight came to life.[p} The character was evolved into Poppin' Fresh (the Pillsbury Doughboy) by the ad agency's artist Martin Nodell, who made the final conception of Poppin' Fresh and drew him. Mart Nodell is well known in the comic book world as the creator of the original Green Lantern.
In October of 1965, Pillsbury debuted the loveable 14-ounce, 8 3/4-inch character in a Crescent Roll commercial. The original voice of the Doughboy was performed by the actor Paul Frees (1920-1986). The Doughboy's costar in the commercial was Maureen McCormick.
