I loved to get up early and watch Davey and Goiath as a kid, and Gumby was a big cult thing in jr. high. There was something charming about what he did. He certainly had an influence on our generation. RIP Mr. Clokey.

Unfortunately, you can’t check out that link on Hulu unless you reside in the United States. Bummer!

“Gumbasia” is a classic, but “Mandala” is an absolute must-see. And as far as I know, today is the first time it’s been available for online viewing!

Mr. Bill had been reached for comment. All he could say was”Oh No!”

Thanks for all the memories, Art. If there is a heaven I hope there’s an exhalted place for people who bring joy to millions of children worldwide.

He was a true original, led his life in a really amazingly spiritual way- I for one, already miss this wonderful artist.

I can only hope that the hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”, which was used as the theme to “Davey and Goliath”, will be played at his funeral.
