Celebrate Art Clokey’s 90th birthday today with a Google doodle honoring his pioneering work in stop-motion animation!
Clokey presented Gumbasia to the world in 1955 from University of Southern California. Then, from Gumby and Pokey in the 50s to Davey and Goliath in the 60s, his influence has been seen right up through this decade! Clokey died in early 2010.
Enjoy today’s doodle, as Gumby signals for you to click each of the other clay spheres — you’ll be greeted by his friends!
