Clokey pioneered clay-animation in the fifties and brought joy to millions through the TV adventures of Gumby and Pokey.

Jason Felch and Geoff Boucher have put together a touching obituary and tribute to Art Clokey in latimesblogs.latimes.com/

I love pop culture so I just have to mention this as a tribute to such a lovable character I remember from childhood. In fact, Gumby and I were both born in the fifties, but he’s got more Facebook friends than I do.
