Two Years later and virtually the anniversity of the earlier mid-late 60s shorts

 Well! It's been a few years..anyhoo, welcome to 2023 and 2024. New dog for me, new weird fantasy like Univ.  M3Gan, Disney/Pixar's INSIDE OUT 2, And a new CLOKEY post!

Everyone knows the timeline of the earlier, dot eyes, 60s Gumby era, i.e.,post-1950s, around 9-12 years old. But exactly WHEN did the flat, Mickey Mouse eyed version,appear?

I.E.,after 1957's "THE ZOOPS" & "EV EN STEVENS." BTW with this REGULAR posts on ALL of my blogs will appear.. But what about later? It seems 1964 was when SCROOGE LOOSE and RAIN FOR ROO (with King Ott and Cadwaddidur(sp?)) appeared.with the nasty Blockheads taking a siesta, then l;ater, possibly with A HAIR-RAISING ADVENTURE given the animation behind open titles,a into device held over from HIDDEN VALLEY,LAWN PARTY and some others, some time in 1964, the newer "boomer generationss's "(yours truly included!) got all these later 1960s Gumby's,with Gumby,me, then Prickle,Goo, and Prof.Kapp from AHRH with the return of the nasty Blockheads around then, then the one with the "bubblegum" song mis-quoted in my blog title with the checkerboard open (song written by Pete Kleinow, co-writer/co-director and theme musicv and the novelty(?) latin classic rock band Flying Burrito Brothers).

From around 1965-66 (MISSILE BIRDS','1966' copyright date is exclusive to it;,there are "non-dated", and the numerous 1967 copyright ones, led the way to the remainder of them (till those bland 1980s ones.We don't talk about these..:-))

Many of the restorations actually do a helluva really good job with actual post-1950s copyright..the 1956 (c) was often put on too many, like Peanuts merch getting the character debuts (1950 for Charlie Brown,etc.though Snoopy, though dating to 1950 as well, gets 1958). Likewise the way that many Hanna-Barbera episodes of their earlier 60s prime times getting eventually identical credits no matter what.

Apparently, Prickle, Goo and those others with them began in the mid-60s.

Hashtag #NotMyGumby but next up,earlier open

A return to this page with some more stock cue identification!!

 Two years after I last visited, some major things happened..largely, we moved from Whittier cal. to a real..wait for it..HORSE town..Norco,Cali.Sadly my little dog died,and such...but anyway Yowp on Yowp (JG Bennie, also of Tralfaz fame, Vancouver BC) has gotten hold of information about a few cues..heard on Clokey and Hanna-Barbera Prods.shows.

A number of Jack Shaindlin's, as well as Raoul Krausshar and Winston Sharples cues, had been written specifically, as a lot know, for various proeducitons. But Jack's cues,nlike the others, date back to the forgotten SHORTY THE CHIMP live theatrical series which was, about..uh, a chimp.

First information on a few that are Jack Shaindlin cues. HOW NOT TO TRAP LIONS, after the opening title, uses Jack's LAF 72-3 for the campy sad lion music, just like Hanna-Barbera had used it..not on Clokey to my knowledge but n Hanna-Barbera shows a lot is another Shaindlin cue, the chase LAF 1-2. It's in Augie and Daddy Doggie's MARS LITTLE PRECIOUS, basically a Doggie Daddy short with DD babysitting Augie's little friend Boinga Boinga, a martian who runs outn at one point,. and LAF-1-2. plays. A circus march piece appears in Pixie and Dixie (as LAF-1-18 and elsewhere as LAF 6-16) .

Also, as of 8/23/29:(From yowpyowp.blogspot.com)

That happy Western cue as Pokey in cameo stands in a higher place in Gumby's dream in 1958's "THE GGS AND TRIXIE" and its 1962 edit "EDD TROUBLE", just happens to be a Sam Fox cue (also in Huckleberry Hound and Quick Draw MCGraw), SF-11 SUSANNA HOEDOWN, by one Jacob Louis Detur. So THAT's another composer identified. 😂

A few includi2ng the first being on a few DAVEY AND GOLIATH's..one DOWN ON THE FARM anhim go run away to a circus, is a WAH WAH creepy cue used with LAF-72-3 above in Huckleberry Hound's 1961 NUTTS OVER MUTTS, It's Raoul Kraushaar (Omar)'s 7-MR-177. Another that appears in Hanna-Barbera and Clampett (Snowball)'s classic 1960s BEANY cartoon sometimes if 8-MR-777.

Here's some Winston Sharples (Scroll) pieces ID''d..as in Felix the Cat, all from late 50s-60s.

King Features Syndicate Television's first Paramount Cartoon Popeye, HITS AND MISSILES, originated the pieces that are in FtC as far back as 1959(?)'s VENUS AND THE MASTER CYLINDER in the middle..the swooping chase music (almost like Raymond Scott's POWERHOUSE!), and the weird da-DA-DA-DAda...and the DaDAda Felix chase that ended up with a weird stunned effect...

A cute little bounce cue was in the Modern Madcap 1960, with some very inventive animation, BOUNCING BENNY. It's used in PEP PILL and BIG BROWNIE with Felix, Poindexter, and the Professor (and the second introducing Big Brownie and Rancher Bart.)

That's really all now, but I have something real great..activity on my other blogs, without even any backlogged rough drafts (LOL) and video links! Take care, happy two new years.

Happy 2020!!

 At least, with the nasty virus, I won't have to wear a mask here...This is the near 65th anniverxary of MY GUmby, which ended nearly 50 years ago (please, don't consider that Minga/Dinali stuff from later the same, LOL). Will post soon, anyway, another blog of another classic, with the first major cartoon star, and with as much stock cues (Seeger-Sharples's SCROLL library)..FELIX THE CAT: THE TRANS-LUX years.

TROPES!!!! and some other corrections ot earlier blog entries

I've been reading TVTROPES.org, that famous site of plot devices, cliches, and crazy real life stuff. A change to this is, I'm gonna start adding tropes for these starting after I write this..for each.and I haven't done all the Gumby (pre-1980s) episodes (I only go up to the late 60s).

Tropes like
Anti-Hero
Anti-Villian
Cassandra Truth
Jerkass has a point/


For Gumby, 1967's INDIAN COUNTRY has Cassandra Truth:Goo, Prickle, and Pokey repeatedly, when seeing Indians, try and warn Gumby, who doesn;t know of it.

Soundtrack Dissonance: The cues in each could go from one style to another.
Style dissonance: Gumby's look changed in 1950s from one to another..


But you knew all of that. :-)

I'm also adding more informaiton and correctin some earlier entires..I am also most like starting what may be the ONLY in depth FELIX the CAT (Trans LUX version) blog within the next day or two..
