Gumby

Gumby is a green clay humanoid figure who was the subject of a series of television shows, animated using stop motion photography, known as claymation. The shows also featured Pokey, an orange clay horse, and Gumby's nemeses, the Block-heads. The Gumby series was created by Art Clokey in 1967.

The Gumby images and toys are registered trademarks of Prema Toy company. The Library of Congress had Gumby as a spokescharacter from 1994 to 1995, due to a common sequence in his shows where Gumby walks into a book, and then experiences the world inside the book as a tangible place.

A parody of Gumby also made appearances in the occasional sketch in the early years of Saturday Night Live, and was played by Eddie Murphy in a foam costume.
