Wherein Gumby's Dad is Cruelly Subdued and Put on Display in a Clay Father Exhibit at the Local Zoo. Monday / 01.15.07 / 07:30PM / Joe / all entries in Gumby Book of Letters
Every time you turn the page, it gets more and more random. This particular cartoon was probably made when Disney's Robin Hood movie come out. Anybody remember that Gumby revival series where one of his buddies is a woolly mammoth? That was probably done around Jurassic Park, in homage to that amazing mammoth bit.
He's fought Space Dinosaurs, captured gorillas, and helped both kings and Indians, but, as Gumby's last moments of lucid thought leak away, he's most fond of receiving mail.
That mailbox is freakin' huge!
Was there really no better shot of this? That could be anything inside that net. This must be a wink for the True Fans, those who would know that Gumby's Pops is orange with a Grecian Formula'd hairpiece.
Let's just move swiftly past the idea that a giggling, oxygen-deprived Pokey enjoys thinking of things that upset Gumby's parents. Nobody likes their in-laws, after all. What's more interesting is the detail that Pokey brings up super-casually:
They had a robot paint their house.
A robot. That's the life these guys live. It almost explains why this space trip has them bored out of their clay skulls.
Next time: Even better than getting mail! |
