Childhood memories...



Art Clokey, the man who invented Gumby, died Friday. He was 88.

He was also responsible for a part of my childhood.



Thanks, Mr. Clokey.

Gumby and Pokey! I remember them! One year for Halloween, my brother made a giant Gumby costume out of styrofoam and spray-painted it green. He ended up getting sick from the fumes, literally poisoning himself. I will never forget that costume, though.

I saw that Art clokey passed and thought of how the times have changed. What would Art have thought about the technology of today, like the movie Avatar?
