He can go into any book....

Today, somebody mentioned Gumby to me. I haven't thought about Gumby in a very long time. I forgot how delightful the little clay guy was.

Eddie Murphy from his ol' SNL years use to do a great Gumby holiday theme special!!

I like the playful imagination of the gumby shows. The figures are really simple, as if to tell kids, hey you can make your own clay figures and imagine all kinds of adventures for them.

Just like Stagg said, the first thing that hit my brain was Eddie M.

Wow Gumby's unconscious is pretty scary.
I thought of Mr. Bill from SNL when you mentioned Gumby. I think I loved Mr. Bill as much as Gumby. Unfortunately, Mr. Bill has been sold to Subway for a pathetic commercial. I hope the same fate never happened to Gumby.
