Art Clokey's 90th Birthday

« on: October 12, 2011, 11:53:08 AM »
I don't know exactly what this has to do with VWs, but Art Clokey, the creator of Gumby and Pokey turns 90 today.  There's a cool "Google Doodle" in his honor on Google's homepage.  I loved Gumby and Pokey when I was a kid.  They stood out from hand drawn cartoons because of their 3D look . . . kind'a a Computer Generated look, but all done one frame at time in clay.  No wonder this world's in the shape it's in . . . everybody is too lazy to put that much work into anything, much less into a kid's cartoon.   ;)

Every artist's studio has the "wall" of postcards and pictures that mean something, and often, like myself, a shelf with little knick-knacks that you collect as you go through life, again, all that have a little special purpose in your heart and mind...

On my shelf there lives a Gumby and a Pokey. 

Happy Birthday, Art.
