I remember watching Gumby back when I was a kid. I remember the series when he used to walk into books or the train that created its own tracks as it went. Guy had to be on shrooms!!!

Did those pesky Blockheads have anything to do with it?

Gumby waz my favorite show!
Like was said, he'd walk (or do that foot sliding thing he always did) right through the cover of a book, and they'd be on a pirate ship or something! How cool is that?? Wonderful imagination he had.

I broke the wire out of Gumby's arms and Legs just to see it. My mom used to hide the screwdrivers.

He seemed like a real nice guy. I read a couple other articles about him over the years and they were always positive.

"Clokey said he enjoyed Murphy's profane Gumby" hahaha

If you've got a heart, then Gumby's a part of you. Or so the song said.

I still have my Gumby (the point on his head is slightly chewed) but Pokey went missing when I took him to Kindergarten one day. I still mourn his loss.
Love....Jill
