Gumby creator Art Clokey has died. Strangest note in his obit: "The unusual shape of Gumby's head would eventually be modeled after one of the few surviving photos of Clokey's father, which shows him with a large wave of hair protruding from the right side of his head." [www.latimes.com]
Clokey also created the Christian TV series Davey and Goliath, which I recall watching before heading off to temple every week.

@Glib and Bitchy: Thanks for this tip, which saddens me. The quote from the LA Times confirms what I had always thought about the shape of Gumby's head (that it was based on a head of wavy hair, like my departed dad's).

I, too, watched Davey and Goliath. but before heading off to Sunday School. (Hey, we Presbyterians and Jews are both People of the Book, though, right?)

@Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Thanks. Send that idea to Gabriel; they always seemto be tweaking the site.
Replies will have to do it for now, I guess, especially here at #tips. More people seem to be checking out the string, which is nice. (And at least now the tips are visible when you're logged in -- that was weird. [Thanks for fixing that, technical folks!])
