I think I'm going to do a blog peice on them. Art Cloke invented Gumbo and poky. I always said they were the most creative cartoon ever. Now I know Clokey did acid and was a hippie, he dropped out of straight society in the 60s to become a middle aged hippie. He was influenced by the counter cluture and that was an element that made Gumby and Poky so creative.

here's an early film he did that was pre Gumby.

I might always talk about Davy and Goliath (quite a contrast).
