Art Clokey, the creative genius behind Gumby and Davey and Goliath has passed away, but his art will never be forgotten. Talk about inspiration! I was a HUGE fan of Gumby growing up. He inspired me to do my own claymations with the family camcorder as a kid. Some of the earlier Gumby stuff was weird, wacky, and bizarre… and I LOVED it! The Gumby Adventures from the eighties was totally cool too. I must say Pokey was my favorite character from the Gumby series. Mr. Clokey provided his voice in the earlier Gumby shows.
