Thanks to google, we now know that today is Art Clokey's 90th birthday.

For all those who watched one of the best television programs on earth, Art Clokey is the creator of Gumby and friends. I remember watching throwback Gumby episodes daily with Sisterfriend... I don't know how but something so childish and petulant really struck us. And it gave a new meaning to the term "Blockhead."

L to R: Prickle (my favorite!), Pokey, Gumby, Minga, and Goo.
Why Goo? Why not another animal friend?

By the way, I know the Gumby theme song by heart.
