I thought you meant Mr. Gumby from Monty Python. :smallredface:

Sad news though.

I loved Gumby when I was a kid... :smallfrown:

[Tirian]

Never mind Gumby, Goliath is dead. :( :( :(

[Em Blackleaf]

Aww, Gumby was my favorite thing as a kid. Too bad. :smallfrown:

Oh well, at least he lived a long life and did many great things in it. :smallsmile:

NOOooo...

if the media doesn't kill my childhood, time will.

[TRM]

This is the last straw.

Why can't we go back to the innocent days of yore, when just Michael Jackson and Gandhi were dead?

Why must we lose another so soon, so suddenly?

Why, God, why?

AhHAHAHA! *dances on grave*

Finally, I am victorious!

(yeah, I wasn't much for Gumby. Sorry, kiddos.)

Seconded. The 10-character limit seems a little long sometimes...

You guys are aware that Gumby's creator was a real person, right? Your not just attacking some random animated character.

Seeing as the title is "Gumby is Dead", yes, yes I was :smalltongue: I referr to the creation, not it's creator. Unless he was also named Gumby.

Art Clokey, from what I've seen, was a good man.

Also, the recent Gumby comic was a hoot and a half. Clokey had a sense of humor about his work, put effort into it anyway...

What I'm saying is, he'll be missed.

Seeing the Gumbasia video makes me wonder. What would watching Gumby be like on psychadelic (but not necessarily illegal) drugs?

Not much weirder than reading the Gumby comic from a couple years back, I figure.
