==Overview== The ''Gumby'' franchise follows Gumby's adventures through different environments and historical eras. His primary [[sidekick]] is Pokey, an [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] orange [[pony]]. His archnemeses are the Blockheads, a pair of silent, antagonistic, red humanoid figures with cube-shaped heads; one has the letter G on the side of his head, while the other has a J. Their creation was inspired by the trouble-making [[The Katzenjammer Kids|Katzenjammer Kids]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gumbyworld.com/memorylane/histblkhd.htm |title=The Blockheads |publisher=Gumbyworld.com |access-date=July 27, 2011 |archive-date=October 4, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004043154/http://www.gumbyworld.com/memorylane/histblkhd.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gumby.com/memorylane/histpok1.htm |title=Pokey: Gumby's Best Pal |publisher=Gumby.com |access-date=July 27, 2011}}</ref> Other characters include Prickle, a yellow fire-breathing [[dinosaur]] who sometimes styles himself as a detective with pipe and [[deerstalker]] hat like [[Sherlock Holmes]]; Goo, a flying blue shapeshifting [[mermaid]] who spits blue goo balls;<ref name="Gumbyworld.com2">{{cite web|url=http://gumby.com/memorylane/histpricgoo.htm |title=Prickle and Goo |publisher=Gumby.com |access-date=July 27, 2011}}</ref> Gumbo and Gumba, Gumby's parents;<ref name="Lloyd">{{cite news|title=Even now, Gumby has that special dimension|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=July 9, 2006|last=Lloyd|first=Robert|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-jul-09-ca-gumby9-story.html|access-date=November 7, 2010}}</ref> and Nopey, Gumby's dog whose entire vocabulary is the word "nope".
