The Wednesday Work Day is over, but there’s still more Wednesday to enjoy, starting with today’s mash-up.

Like Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake started out as a greeting card character that expanded to a whole line of toys and other assorted merchandise. The dolls had scented hair to match their namesakes. The villains included the Peculiar Purple Pie Man of Porcupine Peak (love the alliterative name) and Sour Grapes. The Goldbergs, a sitcom that celebrates the 80s has featured Strawberry Shortcake twice this season, including the Halloween episode where Pops got the name wrong and referred to her as Strawberry Flapjacks.

Deema got picked for this plum role (pardon the pun) because of her cheery disposition. I think she looks adorable.

Strawberry-Shortcake

That’s all for this week. Who’ll be featured next week. It’ll all become crystal clear next Wednesday.
