Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Strawberry Shortcake shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Strawberry Shortcake offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Strawberry Shortcake at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Strawberry Shortcake? Wrong! If the Strawberry Shortcake is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Strawberry Shortcake then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Strawberry Shortcake and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Strawberry Shortcake wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Strawberry Shortcake then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

Strawberry Shortcake is a Licensing#Artwork and character licensing owned by American Greetings, originally used in greeting cards and expanded to include dolls, posters, and other products. The Strawberry Shortcake properties also include a toy line of the character's friends and pets.

History The original design of Strawberry Shortcake and her cat Custard was done in 1977 by Muriel Fahrion during her time as a greeting card illustrator at American Greetings' Juvenile & Humorous card department. After the idea was presented to Bernie Loomis of General Mills and became a licensing entity, Fahrion designed a subsequent thirty-two characters for Those Characters From Cleveland (American Greetings' toy & licensing design division).

Cindy Moyer Patton and Janet Jones designed the other later characters of the classic Strawberry Shortcake line. Lyn Edwards was the editor of the line and along with brainstorm group developed the personality profiles and the story line and philosophy. The first doll was a rag doll directed by Muriel Fahrion and created by Susan Trentel, Fahrion's sister.

The Strawberry Shortcake line of characters each had their own fruity or dessert-themed name with clothing to match, and they each had a dessert- or fruit-named pet. Like the Strawberry Shortcake doll, all the other characters' dolls had hair scented to match their dessert theme. The characters lived and played in a magical world known as Strawberryland.

During the 1980s, Strawberry Shortcake became a huge fad. At the time, there were several related products, such as sticker albums, clothes, a video game for the Atari 2600 , and several other products. Several TV specials were made featuring the characters, one each year between 1980 and 1985, when the fad had apparently waned. Kenner produced no new dolls or toys thereafter.

In 1991, THQ tried reviving the franchise by producing an updated line of Strawberry Shortcake dolls. Strawberry and five of her classic friends each got a makeover, with new clothes, hair, and eyes. However, the line enjoyed at best a modest success, lasting just the one year.

In 2002, the franchise was revived again, this time with a revamped look by a different designer. Also, for the first time ever, a television series with new DVD and VHS (and in certain markets, Video CD) releases was made, with soundtracks for the episodes being put out on CDs at certain intervals, along with many strong licensing deals. Bandai (along with KellyToy) was granted the rights to manufacturing the dolls and toys. DiC Entertainment was granted rights in producing the TV series, who sub-licensed the production of videos, DVDs and Video CDs of the series to 20th Century Fox Home Videos (who subsequently licenses the production of the video outside the US to various other licensees). For the first time in almost two decades, new videogames were launched, produced by The Game Factory for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. Educational CD-ROMs for the PC were also produced. The current revival is still running, with the most recent activity being the release of a Computer-generated imagery-animated feature film into the US market as well as games based on the feature film for various different gaming platforms.

In 2006, Playmates Toys picked up the rights to make Strawberry Shortcake figures. The line is named "A World Of Friends". The doll Frosty Puff was new to this line, but, although a good deal of shuffling and re-distribution was made concerning the pets of the re-launched characters, very few of the new dolls were actually merchandised with pets. The line was received with mixed reactions (see Criticisms section below) From Bandai.

1980s Friends The following is a list of the original Strawberry Shortcake's friends and villains with their pets and release dates. There is a bit of "wiggle room" in a few cases, between the introduction of a character, and their release as a toy. For instance, Raspberry Tart (the character) was introduced in 1980, with the first Strawberry Shortcake TV Special, alongside Huckleberry Pie, Apple Dumplin', etc., but wasn't released as a Doll until the next year. The same is true of Strawberry Shortcake's nemesis, List of Strawberry Shortcake villains . Plum Puddin' also debuted in 1980, but would not get a doll until 1984, by which time the character had apparently switched genders, and was now a girl! Moreover, with the exception of Apple Dumplin', Apricot, and The Purple Pie Man, none of the other characters would come packaged with pets (nor indeed, would most of them even be known to HAVE pets) until the 1982 releases, when all the earlier-released characters were re-issued with their animal friends. A couple of the below-listed characters weren't produced as dolls at all, namely T.N. Honey, Raisin Cane, and Baby Needs-A-Name, who was only made as a larger-sized "Blow-Kiss" baby doll. Raisin Cane was introduced as the niece of villainess Sour Grapes in Issue #1 of Star Comics' (an imprint of Marvel Comics) short-lived Strawberry Shortcake Comic Book, and, as far as is known, was never considered for any kind of commercial merchandising.{]|1980|Berry Bird|-|Strawberry Shortcake Villains|1982|Dregs the snake|-|Strawberry Shortcake Villains|1985|Durt the worm|}

Relaunched characters and their pets, and homes A little revamping took place at the characters' relaunch. Both Pupcake and Custard now belong to Strawberry Shortcake. In Pupcake's place, a new pet, Shoofly Frog, was introduced as Huckleberry Pie's pet, and Apple Dumplin' was relaunched as Strawberry Shortcake's sister. Also, Strawberryland is now divided into "districts" like Cakewalk, Orange Blossom Acres, Huckleberry Briar and Cookie Corners.

Animation 1980s television specials In the early 1980s, there were six television specials starring Strawberry Shortcake. The specials were produced by Gary Rosen, and Romeo Muller (the latter of whom co-starred as "Mr. Sun") in conjunction with RLR Associates. The first and third specials were animated by what is now known as Fred Wolf Films, while the fourth, fifth, and sixth specials were produced by the Canadian company Nelvana (a company based in New York called "Perpetual Motion Pictures" animated the second). In the United States, the specials were TV syndication by LBS Communications. Russi Taylor provided the voice of Strawberry Shortcake for all six specials.

{]|3/1/1980|-|Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City]|(1982)|-|Strawberry Shortcake: Housewarming Surprise]|(1984)|-|Strawberry Shortcake Meets the Berrykins], however it is unknown at this time when or if the remaining four specials will be released.

2000s series In 2003, almost two decades after the last special aired, a new series, animated and produced by DiC Entertainment was released. At present, there are 28 episodes (including 4 two-part episodes), plus one movie.

20th Century Fox began releasing the series direct-to-DVD beginning in March of 2003 (the first few episodes were also released on VHS and bundled with certain toys). They are also available on VideoCD through various fourth party licensees in South-East Asia and in certain other markets. The series can also be seen on select TV outlets worldwide.

The first four videos contain only one story but run for twice the length of subsequent episodes. In some TV markets these four episodes are broadcast as edited 30 minute versions, while others broadcasted these as two-parters, doubling the episode count to eight. Subsequent videos in the series have two 22-minute episodes per disc. As of May 2007, 14 volumes (plus one DVD for the movie) have been released.

Shorts A five-minute Strawberry Shortcake short, "Growing Better All The Time", is available exclusively in the Care Bears: Daydreams DVD (released September 27, 2005) as a bonus feature. Another different short is also available exclusively in the Care Bears: To The Rescue DVD.

Game Boy Advance Video Majesco has also released Strawberry Shortcake episodes as a Game Boy Advance Video cartridge: Strawberry Shortcake Volume 1 *Meet Strawberry Shortcake *Spring for Strawberry Shortcake Note: The episodes released on Game Boy Advance Video are the 22-minute edited broadcast version of the episodes (some markets show these episodes as a two-parter without cutting off scenes instead), unlike the video versions which are 45 minutes in length each. Presumably this decision was made to keep the costs of producing the cartridges down (as the need for higher density memory chips would drive the cost of the cartridge up). As a result, two songs and a significant number of scenes from "Meet Strawberry Shortcake", as well as a song and half of the scenes from "Spring for Strawberry Shortcake" were missing from the GBA Video release if compared to the other videos.

Theatrically-released feature film In October 2006, the first Strawberry Shortcake film, Strawberry Shortcake: The Sweet Dreams Movie, was released in select cities by Kidtoon Films. The Peculiar Purple Pie-Man of Porcupine Peak and Sour Grapes, which were notably absent from the TV series, are re-introduced in the movie. However, Sour Grapes is re-introduced as Purple Pieman's sister in materials related to the Sweet Dreams Movie. The movie premiered on DVD on February 6, 2007.

As of May 2007, Disney Channel Asia has screened the movie as part of it's Wonderful World of Disney movie-time line-up. However, it has not yet been released to VideoCD in the region.

Soundtracks As of 2007, 6 soundtracks (plus the soundtrack for the movie) has been released to CD.

Criticisms Inconsistencies A criticism from long-time fans is the inconsistency of characters, pets, scents, etc. that exists between the vintage franchise from the 1980s and the current franchise. Some examples are:

Character names - Raspberry Tart's name was changed to Raspberry Torte. Almond Tea's name was changed to Tea Blossom.

Pets - Pupcake now belongs to Strawberry instead of Huck (who now has Shoofly Frog). Angel Cake no longer has Souffle skunk, but instead Vanilla Icing. Lemon Meringue's pet frog, Frappe, is replaced by Sourball the skunk (possibly explained by the switching of Souffle skunk to Vanilla Icing for Angel Cake and switching of Pupcake to Shoofly for Huck). Apple Dumplin's turtle, Teatime, is replaced by Apple Ducklin'. And maybe oddest of all is Rhubarb's (Raspberry's pet) change from a monkey to a raccoon. This might be explained by the existence of Banana Bongo (Tangerina Torta's monkey), although Banana Bongo himself was originally introduced as the leader of a monkey band on Seaberry Beach during the story introducing Coco Calypso and Seaberry Delight.

Relationships - Previously unmentioned sibling pairs keep popping up, such as Strawberry Shortcake and Apple Dumplin' and The Purple Pie Man and Sour Grapes. There is also some confusion about the relationship between Crepes Suzette and the younger, recently-introduced Cherry Cuddler. Both have cherry scents and early promotional materials indicated that they are sisters. However, the box for the Playmates doll set indicates they are merely friends.

Scents - Playmates' introduction of the 2006 toy line is very loose with the linked scents that have been traditional in this franchise. Examples include cherry used for Crepes Suzette, Grape used for Tea Blossom, etc. While some consider the scent mixing and blending to be part of the fun, it is also criticized for taking some of the unique and distinct personalities and associations away from each individual character.

Fillies/Ponies - In early 2007, Playmates introduced three new ponies, but these are different from the previous Strawberryland Fillies. The ponies belong to Strawberry Shortcake, Angel Cake, and Crepes Suzette, and are aligned with the Berries to Blossoms doll line. The Honey Pie Pony and Milkshake names are not used and neither pony looks like the fillies previously linked to Strawberry and Angel. The new ponies are not given names of their own. In June 2007, three new ponies were introduced - two are new remakes of Strawberry's and Crepes' ponies (even more inconsistencies) and the third is Apricot's. Still no individual names for these ponies, but the series is called Sugar Sweet ponies.

Character designs - Many feel that the Playmates line of dolls does not look anything like the characters on TV or the other materials at all. The Playmates dolls are all looking increasingly alike (same expressions, hairstyles, outfits) with just differing colors. Also, changes to hair colors in the dolls for Blueberry Muffin, Lemon Meringue, Angel Cake, Seaberry Delight, and even Strawberry Shortcake herself make the dolls look even less like their contemporary TV/Book/movie versions. Likewise, some eBay-savvy fans recently found a line of Baby Strawberry Shortcake dolls from South America that not only look nothing like the other Baby Strawberry Shortcake materials or the episode "Baby Takes the Cake", but even remind some fans of Psygnosis' Lemmings (video game) games TV.com post on topic.

The TV show and the movie Some people were disappointed with the absence of The Purple Pie Man in the TV series. However, others applauded the removal of villains from the series with the latter preferring that the series being kept in its current format: an educational, real-life adventure program similar to Arthur (TV series) or Caillou. Two camps clearly exist on this issue: There are fans (adults and children alike) that love the inclusion of antagonists such as Purple Pie Man, Sour Grapes and Licorice Whip. These fans want to continue to see more of them in movies, books, and toys. However, there are others who feel that the inclusion (or re-inclusion) of villains in the show take away from the primary focus on Strawberry and her friends as well as erode the educational content of the show, and would prefer the show and franchise be kept villain-free. These people include, but may not be limited to those who:



Controversy American McGee's Strawberry Shortcake In 2003, webcomic Penny Arcade (webcomic) posted an "advertisement" for an imaginary computer game, Penny Arcade (webcomic)#American Greetings, in reference to American McGee's Alice - a twisted and violent take on Lewis Carroll's works. American Greetings took offense to the parody and issued a cease-and-desist letter, to which the authors begrudgingly complied http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/04/14 - but not without making their indignation very clear http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/04/27.

Some argue that Penny Arcade's case was not covered under the fair use doctrine because the use of the characters in this case was for satire http://www.penny-arcade.com/2003/04/21; they claim that fair use only protects the unauthorized use of copyrighted characters in parody of the original material, and that satire and parody are totally different concepts. Others, however, take the view that parody and satire are equally protected by law http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/speech/Arts/topic.aspx?topic=parody_satire.

Regardless of the legality of either side's actions, this brief altercation is likely to have caused damage to American Greetings far beyond what the removed piece could have done by itself; given the webcomic's immense popularity (amplified by an article of the lawsuit appearing on Slashdot - a news site with a very large readership base and whose majority of readers are for fair use and against the likes of Digital rights management and copy protection), American Greetings made itself look to many eyes as overzealous as Barbie#Parodies and lawsuits in the protection of their properties, to the point of being capable of trampling artistic expression. http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/002368.html http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/lawpoli/cases/2003042301.php http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/03/04/23/0336227.shtml?tid=153 http://www.jasongriffey.net/wp/2003/04/28/penny-arcade-vs-strawberry-shortcake

Various other TV shows, including Drawn Together http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_Wherein_There_Is_a_Big_Twist%2C_Part_II and Robot Chickenhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation:_Rich_In_Spirit_%28Robot_Chicken_episode%29#Berry_Rude, have since also parodied or satirized Strawberry Shortcake in one way or another but at this time have met no reported retaliation from American Greetings.

Educational CD-ROMs for the PC were also produced. The current revival is still running, with the most recent activity being the release of a Computer-generated imagery-animated feature film into the US market as well as games based on the feature film for various different gaming platforms.

1980s Friends The following is a list of the original Strawberry Shortcake's friends and villains with their pets and release dates. There is a bit of "wiggle room" in a few cases, between the introduction of a character, and their release as a toy. For instance, Raspberry Tart (the character) was introduced in 1980, with the first Strawberry Shortcake TV Special, alongside Huckleberry Pie, Apple Dumplin', etc., but wasn't released as a Doll until the next year. The same is true of Strawberry Shortcake's nemesis, List of Strawberry Shortcake villains . Plum Puddin' also debuted in 1980, but would not get a doll until 1984, by which time the character had apparently switched genders, and was now a girl! Moreover, with the exception of Apple Dumplin', Apricot, and The Purple Pie Man, none of the other characters would come packaged with pets (nor indeed, would most of them even be known to HAVE pets) until the 1982 releases, when all the earlier-released characters were re-issued with their animal friends. A couple of the below-listed characters weren't produced as dolls at all, namely T.N. Honey, Raisin Cane, and Baby Needs-A-Name, who was only made as a larger-sized "Blow-Kiss" baby doll. Raisin Cane was introduced as the niece of villainess Sour Grapes in Issue #1 of Star Comics' (an imprint of Marvel Comics) short-lived Strawberry Shortcake Comic Book, and, as far as is known, was never considered for any kind of commercial merchandising.{]|1980|Berry Bird|-|Strawberry Shortcake Villains|1982|Dregs the snake|-|Strawberry Shortcake Villains|1985|Durt the worm|}

Relaunched characters and their pets, and homes A little revamping took place at the characters' relaunch. Both Pupcake and Custard now belong to Strawberry Shortcake. In Pupcake's place, a new pet, Shoofly Frog, was introduced as Huckleberry Pie's pet, and Apple Dumplin' was relaunched as Strawberry Shortcake's sister. Also, Strawberryland is now divided into "districts" like Cakewalk, Orange Blossom Acres, Huckleberry Briar and Cookie Corners.

Animation 1980s television specials In the early 1980s, there were six television specials starring Strawberry Shortcake. The specials were produced by Gary Rosen, and Romeo Muller (the latter of whom co-starred as "Mr. Sun") in conjunction with RLR Associates. The first and third specials were animated by what is now known as Fred Wolf Films, while the fourth, fifth, and sixth specials were produced by the Canadian company Nelvana (a company based in New York called "Perpetual Motion Pictures" animated the second). In the United States, the specials were TV syndication by LBS Communications. Russi Taylor provided the voice of Strawberry Shortcake for all six specials.

{]|3/1/1980|-|Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City]|(1982)|-|Strawberry Shortcake: Housewarming Surprise]|(1984)|-|Strawberry Shortcake Meets the Berrykins], however it is unknown at this time when or if the remaining four specials will be released.

2000s series In 2003, almost two decades after the last special aired, a new series, animated and produced by DiC Entertainment was released. At present, there are 28 episodes (including 4 two-part episodes), plus one movie.

20th Century Fox began releasing the series direct-to-DVD beginning in March of 2003 (the first few episodes were also released on VHS and bundled with certain toys). They are also available on VideoCD through various fourth party licensees in South-East Asia and in certain other markets. The series can also be seen on select TV outlets worldwide.

The first four videos contain only one story but run for twice the length of subsequent episodes. In some TV markets these four episodes are broadcast as edited 30 minute versions, while others broadcasted these as two-parters, doubling the episode count to eight. Subsequent videos in the series have two 22-minute episodes per disc. As of May 2007, 14 volumes (plus one DVD for the movie) have been released.

Shorts A five-minute Strawberry Shortcake short, "Growing Better All The Time", is available exclusively in the Care Bears: Daydreams DVD (released September 27, 2005) as a bonus feature. Another different short is also available exclusively in the Care Bears: To The Rescue DVD.

Game Boy Advance Video Majesco has also released Strawberry Shortcake episodes as a Game Boy Advance Video cartridge: Strawberry Shortcake Volume 1 *Meet Strawberry Shortcake *Spring for Strawberry Shortcake Note: The episodes released on Game Boy Advance Video are the 22-minute edited broadcast version of the episodes (some markets show these episodes as a two-parter without cutting off scenes instead), unlike the video versions which are 45 minutes in length each. Presumably this decision was made to keep the costs of producing the cartridges down (as the need for higher density memory chips would drive the cost of the cartridge up). As a result, two songs and a significant number of scenes from "Meet Strawberry Shortcake", as well as a song and half of the scenes from "Spring for Strawberry Shortcake" were missing from the GBA Video release if compared to the other videos.

Theatrically-released feature film In October 2006, the first Strawberry Shortcake film, Strawberry Shortcake: The Sweet Dreams Movie, was released in select cities by Kidtoon Films. The Peculiar Purple Pie-Man of Porcupine Peak and Sour Grapes, which were notably absent from the TV series, are re-introduced in the movie. However, Sour Grapes is re-introduced as Purple Pieman's sister in materials related to the Sweet Dreams Movie. The movie premiered on DVD on February 6, 2007.

As of May 2007, Disney Channel Asia has screened the movie as part of it's Wonderful World of Disney movie-time line-up. However, it has not yet been released to VideoCD in the region.

Soundtracks As of 2007, 6 soundtracks (plus the soundtrack for the movie) has been released to CD.

Criticisms Inconsistencies A criticism from long-time fans is the inconsistency of characters, pets, scents, etc. that exists between the vintage franchise from the 1980s and the current franchise. Some examples are:

Character names - Raspberry Tart's name was changed to Raspberry Torte. Almond Tea's name was changed to Tea Blossom.

Pets - Pupcake now belongs to Strawberry instead of Huck (who now has Shoofly Frog). Angel Cake no longer has Souffle skunk, but instead Vanilla Icing. Lemon Meringue's pet frog, Frappe, is replaced by Sourball the skunk (possibly explained by the switching of Souffle skunk to Vanilla Icing for Angel Cake and switching of Pupcake to Shoofly for Huck). Apple Dumplin's turtle, Teatime, is replaced by Apple Ducklin'. And maybe oddest of all is Rhubarb's (Raspberry's pet) change from a monkey to a raccoon. This might be explained by the existence of Banana Bongo (Tangerina Torta's monkey), although Banana Bongo himself was originally introduced as the leader of a monkey band on Seaberry Beach during the story introducing Coco Calypso and Seaberry Delight.

Relationships - Previously unmentioned sibling pairs keep popping up, such as Strawberry Shortcake and Apple Dumplin' and The Purple Pie Man and Sour Grapes. There is also some confusion about the relationship between Crepes Suzette and the younger, recently-introduced Cherry Cuddler. Both have cherry scents and early promotional materials indicated that they are sisters. However, the box for the Playmates doll set indicates they are merely friends.

Scents - Playmates' introduction of the 2006 toy line is very loose with the linked scents that have been traditional in this franchise. Examples include cherry used for Crepes Suzette, Grape used for Tea Blossom, etc. While some consider the scent mixing and blending to be part of the fun, it is also criticized for taking some of the unique and distinct personalities and associations away from each individual character.

Fillies/Ponies - In early 2007, Playmates introduced three new ponies, but these are different from the previous Strawberryland Fillies. The ponies belong to Strawberry Shortcake, Angel Cake, and Crepes Suzette, and are aligned with the Berries to Blossoms doll line. The Honey Pie Pony and Milkshake names are not used and neither pony looks like the fillies previously linked to Strawberry and Angel. The new ponies are not given names of their own. In June 2007, three new ponies were introduced - two are new remakes of Strawberry's and Crepes' ponies (even more inconsistencies) and the third is Apricot's. Still no individual names for these ponies, but the series is called Sugar Sweet ponies.

Character designs - Many feel that the Playmates line of dolls does not look anything like the characters on TV or the other materials at all. The Playmates dolls are all looking increasingly alike (same expressions, hairstyles, outfits) with just differing colors. Also, changes to hair colors in the dolls for Blueberry Muffin, Lemon Meringue, Angel Cake, Seaberry Delight, and even Strawberry Shortcake herself make the dolls look even less like their contemporary TV/Book/movie versions. Likewise, some eBay-savvy fans recently found a line of Baby Strawberry Shortcake dolls from South America that not only look nothing like the other Baby Strawberry Shortcake materials or the episode "Baby Takes the Cake", but even remind some fans of Psygnosis' Lemmings (video game) games TV.com post on topic.

The TV show and the movie Some people were disappointed with the absence of The Purple Pie Man in the TV series. However, others applauded the removal of villains from the series with the latter preferring that the series being kept in its current format: an educational, real-life adventure program similar to Arthur (TV series) or Caillou. Two camps clearly exist on this issue: There are fans (adults and children alike) that love the inclusion of antagonists such as Purple Pie Man, Sour Grapes and Licorice Whip. These fans want to continue to see more of them in movies, books, and toys. However, there are others who feel that the inclusion (or re-inclusion) of villains in the show take away from the primary focus on Strawberry and her friends as well as erode the educational content of the show, and would prefer the show and franchise be kept villain-free. These people include, but may not be limited to those who:



Controversy American McGee's Strawberry Shortcake In 2003, webcomic Penny Arcade (webcomic) posted an "advertisement" for an imaginary computer game, Penny Arcade (webcomic)#American Greetings, in reference to American McGee's Alice - a twisted and violent take on Lewis Carroll's works. American Greetings took offense to the parody and issued a cease-and-desist letter, to which the authors begrudgingly complied http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/04/14 - but not without making their indignation very clear http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/04/27.

Some argue that Penny Arcade's case was not covered under the fair use doctrine because the use of the characters in this case was for satire http://www.penny-arcade.com/2003/04/21; they claim that fair use only protects the unauthorized use of copyrighted characters in parody of the original material, and that satire and parody are totally different concepts. Others, however, take the view that parody and satire are equally protected by law http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/speech/Arts/topic.aspx?topic=parody_satire.

Regardless of the legality of either side's actions, this brief altercation is likely to have caused damage to American Greetings far beyond what the removed piece could have done by itself; given the webcomic's immense popularity (amplified by an article of the lawsuit appearing on Slashdot - a news site with a very large readership base and whose majority of readers are for fair use and against the likes of Digital rights management and copy protection), American Greetings made itself look to many eyes as overzealous as Barbie#Parodies and lawsuits in the protection of their properties, to the point of being capable of trampling artistic expression. http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/002368.html http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/lawpoli/cases/2003042301.php http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/03/04/23/0336227.shtml?tid=153 http://www.jasongriffey.net/wp/2003/04/28/penny-arcade-vs-strawberry-shortcake

Various other TV shows, including Drawn Together http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_Wherein_There_Is_a_Big_Twist%2C_Part_II and Robot Chickenhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation:_Rich_In_Spirit_%28Robot_Chicken_episode%29#Berry_Rude, have since also parodied or satirized Strawberry Shortcake in one way or another but at this time have met no reported retaliation from American Greetings.
