Google Doodle – Art Clokey

  This is one of the best doodle displayed on Google. Clicking on each letter would display one character with animation. You can see multiple characters animating at the same time  when you click on the letters with no delay. Today is Clokey’s 90th birthday and we are remembering him through the doodle displayed on Google. Mr. Clokey is the man behind the popular TV show character Gumby.  Art Clokey worked with clay and produced many works of art in the medium of film. Gumbasia, The very first stop motion clay animation movie by Art Clokey. He was also the first to introduce the use of clay models of objects, animals and people in television commercials and also in stop motion movies. Art Clokey died in his sleep on January 8, 2010 due to a recurrent bladder infection. I am seeing this doodle when accessed google.co.in and google.com domains. It should also be available in the rest of the world.  The Pop Herald says it is available in America.
