[edit] Summary

"Tart as a Double Entendre", the April 14, 2003 issue of the the webcomic Penny Arcade. The strip was removed from the site shortly after its initial publication,[1] due to a cease-and-desist letter by American Greetings Corporation over the use of company's characters "Strawberry Shortcake" and "Plum Puddin'". For verification, refer to this blog entry and this Slashdot discussion.
