Gumby 50 Years Old....

Happy birthday old man! I remember 2 things about Gumby when I was a kid....

1. They had these jerky claymation Gumby TV shows and also the Davey and Goliath claymation shows. The dog talked funny. Thank you Pixar for making all this better for my kids.
2. The Gumby doll had wire for bones and if you twisted it hard enough, would become exposed. Gumby also doubled as a great thing to whack other children with since the plastic was nice and hard.

We look forward now to the further adventures of Gumby since new TV shows and a movie are now in the works. Director Tim Burton is working on the project and I just don't know how can make such a squeaky clean figure spooky.
