The man who created the television series Davey and Goliath has died. Art Clokey passed away at his home in Los Osos, California last Friday at the age of 88. Besides coming up with the stop-motion animated series for the United Lutheran Church in America, Clokey also created the popular Gumby character.
Davey and Goliath was first seen in 1960 and ended its run on TV in 1975. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) gained rights to the show in a merger of Lutheran denominations. A 2003 documentary by the ELCA told the history of the show and it was brought back in 2004 for an hour-long special.
