He was once a little green slab of clay. Gumby!
You should see what Gumby can do today. Gumby!
He can walk into any book, with his pony pal Pokey, too.
If you've got a heart then Gumby's a part of you.

For all the laughs and enjoyment you gave my childhood - Thanks Art!

RIP :(

Very sad, but interesting knowing who created Gumby....

I wonder what he thought of Eddie Murphy's portrayal of Gumby on "Saturday Night Live"? THAT is my favourite Gumby moment....
