Thanks for the Clay

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving, Canada, celebrated annually on the second Monday in October. 🇨🇦

Despite some a controversial holidays today, one as mandated by some U.S. Federal bureaucrats, and which we are going to ignore*, it's the birthday of Art Clokey, (October 12, 1921-January 8, 2010), the pioneering stop-motion clay animator.

His "The Gumby Show" aired from 1956 to 1969, and someone...*ahem*...had Gumby and Pokey dolls up until they melted (by accident!) when she and The Hubby were dating JUST a little while ago!

Television Gumby, with his trusty sidekick Pokey, were claymation characters, while the toys were plastic with an internal wire frame to make them bendable. 

Found on the interwebs, the toy versions of Gumby and Pokey.

OH NO!

*Okay, it's Columbus Day, also Indigenous Peoples' Day, also Discoverers Day, plus the communities that don't celebrate at all.

New Moon Henry
