RIP Art Clokey
Saw a special on his life last year He was quite a different person.A bit counter culture but with a good nature . Like sesame st. Gumby and pokey became a part of our cultural landscape.

Animation in general, and Gumby and Pokey in particular, was a big part of my childhood (currently in its 48th year and not showing any sign of letting up). To those that where there- remember Nopey the dog and the friends Krickle and Goo?:clock:

There were days in my teenage years (very early 80's) that I thought I was Gumby. May he rest in peace.

I have a Gumby key chain hanging in the garage and it always reminds me of Eddie Murphy.
