Art Clokey, the creator of Gumby & Pokey, passed away. Sad news for me.

Long live Gumby.
Those little critters entertained me for years as a child.
Rest well, Mr. Clokey.
I found Gumby odd at times but enjoyable. I recall growing up my brother having a poster with Pokey and Gumby at the beach. The caption read, "Gee Pokey What could go wrong on a perfect day like this?" Of course a shark is approaching Pokey's raft. Oh well, RIP

An old friend of mine mentioned this tonight at dinner... of course, I'd heard. ART CLOKEY lived a long life. Good night, ARTHUR.
My memories are not so much of Gumby and Pokey, but of Davey and Goliath, as he had a way of making those morality lessons go down so easy. R.I.P. Art.
