Talk:Art Clokey

message: 2nd paragraph - "The aesthetic environment later became the home of Art Clokey's most famous character, Gumby..."  What does that mean?  If anything? :) Kentucho 15:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: could the bit in the intro saying Gumby is a "familiar presence on telelvision" be changed to "familiar presence on US television"?  We've never heard of Gumby in the UK.

thread_title:  Slight change to intro 

message: Please change the final line of the Biography to:
On October 12, 2011, Google honored Clokey in its customary fashion by presenting search engine users with an interactive doodle on its home page. The doodle featured colored clay balls which would transform into animated characters from Gumby: The Movie upon a mouse click.

message: Rick Baker and Jim Danforth are two of the movie effects notables who got their start working for Art Clokey; I believe there are others as well. At least these should get mention. Bustter (talk) 17:31, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Wikipedia seems devoid of information on the farcical public relations disaster of the lawsuit by Prema Toy Company against a child nicknamed Pokey (for completely unrelated reasons) over his Pokey.org blog.  This received national press coverage (New York Times , etc.); got examined in law journals ; has been devoted entire chapters in mainstream books like Copyfraud and Other Abuses of Intellectual Property Law , and Unusually Stupid Americans: A Compendium of All-American Stupidity ; and is a frequently cited example of the Streisand effect, of copyfraud (technically "markfraud"), and of a nuisance lawsuit.  I suspect a whitewashing job has been done on these articles by Prema or someone closely connected with them. WP used to have comprehensive information about this. This is actually affecting the Googleability of information about the case – it's getting difficult to find much if you don't know the full case name. It's inclusion here, either directly in the Clokey and Gumby articles, or in its own article, is absolutely encyclopedic.  — AReaderOutThataway t/c 03:11, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
