Goo, of course. The Blockheads derived from my interest in playing blocks as a child. I used blocks a lot. And sometimes I was called a blockhead. Pokey entered in the third episode, I believe, where Gumby rescued him from being run over by a train.
Pokey is really a combination between a pet dog and a pet pony, or horse.
My grandfather, where I spent a lot of time every summer, had a horse and a dog, and I combined the two into Pokey. It was so much fun to create all the miniature props with the other artists who were working under me, and sets. And the sets were fascinating and so satisfying to my creative nature. It was so rich, and is today a unique movie, that children want to watch over and over again because of such a variety. We hope that we can do - in fact, we do have a script for a second movie, and are working on that becoming a reality soon.
