Gumby is a green clay humanoid figure with a 233-episode TV show. Shorts of the "Gumby" show ran from 1956 until 1968 on NBC. The series, created by Art Clokey, was done with stop-motion clay animation, and featured Gumby and his sidekick Pokey, an orange horse. It was briefly revived in 1988, with the original shorts being reaired as well as new material featuring new characters. Gumby and Pokey became well known characters, and merchandise included the popular rubber bendable dolls. They were also featured in Library of Congress television ads in 1994-1995.
