Yet Another Truth of Living With Cats

I found this while cleaning over the weekend. Pilchard does this to me, a lot, particularly at night. They just know.

One of my friends had this in his status on Facebook. It's too good not to share.

Makes perfect sense.

New Simon's Cat!

These are very funny short movies. The cartoonist is British and very involved in animal care across the pond. This is the newest short.

Beverage:  Water

Hahahahaha

Patt sent me this.

 

I had kind of forgotten it was Friday the 13th today. I think I've mentioned before that I think I'm exceptionally lucky that she allows me to live with her.

He was once a little green slab of clay.

Art Clokey died yesterday. He was 88. I am ashamed to say I thought he had passed on years before.

He created Gumby and Pokey. I have fond memories of watching their half-hour cartoon during the week or when someone picked up distributorship and the 3-4 minute shorts were included as part of another program. It was never, to the best of my knowledge, a cartoon on its own on Saturday mornings.

I tried to get Carole interested in Gumby but it never resonated with her.

If you know of "Davey and Goliath", a claymation series put out by the Lutheran church, Clokey did those and used Gumby often to satirized what he was doing on Davey and Goliath. Eventually, Gumby had 2 friends named Prickle and Goo and had to foil the nefarious Blockheads, whose heads were blocks. There were other characters introduced over the course of 35 years, but I didn't like those. I really prefer the first few shorts where it's just a green slab of clay and his talking clay horse.

Rest in piece Mr. Clokey.

Beverage: Huckleberry tea
