I much enjoyed writing the series! One ...Thank you! I much enjoyed writing the series! One of my regrets, in addition to not attending Gary Meyer's theatrical tributes to Clokey, was that I did not at least drive down to Art's Marin County studio back in 1985-1986 and indicate an interest in working in some capacity on that last Gumby series. Why didn't I do that? Fear? Shyness? The crappy job I had at the time? I forget after 35+ years! The worst thing that would have happened is that Art and Co. would have politely refused. I'm not sure it would have been a great fit, as my sense of humor is closer to silent movie comedians, British comedy (Peter Cook & Dudley Moore, Monty Python), Mel Brooks, SCTV and the cartoons of the Termite Terrace gang than anything seen in Gumby, but who knows, perhaps my brand of "silly" would have suited Gumby & Pokey.Paul F.

I read all 4 parts and just re-read them all again and wanted to tell you that I loved each one and they're so well-written and this is such a great tribute to Art Clokey. I loved watching Gumby episodes when I was little and playing with my Gumby bendy toy. I'm so glad that I came across your blog posts; they made my night (and day). Have a Gumby Day! =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979749344072929110noreply@blogger.com
