Gumby was first introduced on the Mickey Mouse Club show in 1956.
In 1955, Art Engel of 20th Century Fox approached Art Clokey to do a cartoon in clay. Clokey had already done a claymation cartoon set to jazz music. The character he created, Gumby, debuted on The Howdy Doody Show in 1956. Gumby’s unique head shape was inspired by a photo of Clokey’s father at 18, which showed him sporting a huge cowlick.
