silvercordCreated by Art Clokey, Gumby had its genesis in a 1955 theatrical short called Gumbasia, which was a surreal short of moving and expanding lumps of clay set to music. Gumby himself first appeared on the Howdy Doody show in 1956 and was given his own NBC series in 1957. Female performers (among them Norma MacMillan) originally supplied Gumby's voice during the initial episodes, as well as the child-like voice characterization provided by Dick Beals. Newly produced episodes were added in 1962, by which time Dallas McKennon became the voice of Gumby, and 1966-67. Besides Pokey, voiced by creator Art Clokey, and his dog Nopey – all the dog ever said was "No" – Gumby's friends included Prickle, a yellow dinosaur or dragon (there are stories that establish him as dragon, and some that establish him as dinosaur - he has been known to breathe fire); and Goo, a blue thumb-type mermaid blob who could fly.
