Gumby and pokey

Gumby is a cartoon character and associated media franchise created by Art Clokey. Gumby is a blocky green humanoid made of clay. Gumby stars in two television series, Gumby: The Movie , and other media. Upon his debut, in , he immediately became a famous example of stop motion clay animation and an American cultural icon, spawning tributes, parodies, and merchandising. The Gumby franchise follows Gumby's adventures through different environments and historical eras. His primary sidekick is Pokey, an anthropomorphic orange pony. His arch-nemeses are the G and J Blockheads, a pair of silent antagonistic red humanoid figures with cube-shaped heads, one with the letter G on the block, the other with the letter J. Their creation was inspired by the trouble-making Katzenjammer Kids. The syndicated series added Gumby's sister Minga, mastodon friend Denali, and chicken friend Tilly. Clokey's first animated film was a three-minute student film called Gumbasia , a surreal montage of moving and expanding lumps of clay set to music in a parody of Disney's Fantasia. Much of Gumby's look and feel was inspired by this technique of camera movements and editing. In , Clokey showed Gumbasia to film producer Sam Engel, who encouraged him to develop his technique by animating figures into children's stories. The name "Gumby" came from the muddy clay found at Clokey's grandparents' farm that his family called "gumbo". Clokey saw the color green as both racially neutral and a symbol of life. Gumby's slanted head was based on the hairstyle of Clokey's father, Charles Farrington, in an old photograph.
