Art Clokey, the creator of Gumby, passed away to-day, and though his passing is all ready mentioned in our death thread, I think the guy deserves a little more, what? So, for your viewing pleasure, here are a couple of examples of his work:

Art Clokey's 1968 episode of Gumby All Broken Up

Art's groundbreaking 1953 short, Gumbasia

From his tribute in the L.A. Times

In the 1970s, Clokey studied Zen Buddhism, traveled to India to study with gurus and experimented with LSD and other drugs, though all of that came long after the creation of Gumby, his son said.

How about that! So much for following the advice of David and Goliath! You, go, Art, with bad self!
