Art Clokey was fucking awesome

Art Clokey was fucking awesome

I couldn’t find any clips on YouTube that really fit with what I would have liked to have shown in memory of the great Art Clokey, creator of Gumby and Davey and Goliath, so I picked this video of Lightning Bolt’s 13 Monsters by Paper Rad. There’s a great bit in one of the old Gumby episodes that Brown Cuts Neighbors stole for one of our TV shows with Gumby’s band having a run in with some rustlers that has the classic line “Sorry we’re so dirty, ladies and gentlemen, but we were hijacked”. Sorry you don’t get that. You can just imagine. Rest in Peace Art. You are much missed.
