Art Clokey, creator of Gumby, has left the world of the animated at age 88.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100109/..._gumby_creator

"Hey, Elspode", you ask, "what's your favorite Gumby memory?"

Glad you asked. In 1986, my wife, son and I were on a pilgrimage to Disney World. As we were stopped in the line to pay our thruway toll, I looked into my rearview mirror to see that the minipickup behind me had Gumby and his horse pal, Pokey, on his dashboard. Gumby was on all fours, and Pokey had mounted him from behind.

Ah, pop culture memories.

A passing friend of mine died yesterday, Juliet Anderson, better known as Aunt Peg. I linked to the Wikipedia entry but there are plenty of other obits out there.

I'm quite surprised that no one has mentioned the death of homeboy Teddy Pendergrass.

And I don't want to hear any more about that transsexual model he was with the night of his accident in the 80's either. Old news.

I remember the night he died also. The local radio station played their entire SRV catalog, in chronological order. At the end, they did it again.
