Joe Clokey, the caretaker of the Gumby empire that his dad Art Clokey created in the early 1950s, died on March 2 at age 56 -- just eight years after his father. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Clokey remastered the Gumby library and promoted the friendly green guy through new products, productions, museum exhibits, festivals, TV shows, speaking engagements and parades." Clokey was affectionately known as "Gumby's Little Brother."
