I'm a sucker for anything stop motion so when we lose a contributor like Clokey, it's rather depressing. I can't believe I missed this news at first.

My mom grew up watching Davey and Goliath as well. When I was a kid, we'd watch Gumby together. I'm only remembering some of this right now.

We have lost a talent and a treasure. He was a pretty interesting guy too if you read the link. Gumby, Davey and Goliath, and How to Stuff a Wild Bikini -- now that's a resume.

Sorry your creator died, TG.

I loved Gumby and Pokey

Gumby was green because his creator cared for the environment?!

As a kid I couldn't get enough of Davey and Goliath.

Heck what am I saying.

I couldn't get enough of Davey and Goliath as an adult.

Gumby was green because his creator cared for the environment?!

I thought it was because he was envious.....

That is sad news. Skklog and I watched an awful lot of Gumby as kids. When we were young, we used to go to the library and get three movies to watch. Every week, at least one of them were Gumby.
