The World Is Waiting For the Sunrise. Lyrics: Eugene Lockhart. Music: Ernest Seitz. First Published: 1919. Notes. The original sheet music for this tune indicates a slow, lilting bounce and includes a lyrical verse. This sheet music is out of print, but is in my possession and I could provide it to you upon request.
Gumby follows the titular character and his adventures through different environments and times in history. Gumby's principal sidekick is Pokey, a talking orange pony. His nemeses are the Blockheads, a pair of humanoid, red-colored figures with cube-shaped heads, who wreak mischief and havoc. The Blockheads were inspired by The Katzenjammer Kids, who were always getting into scrapes and causing discomfort to others.
The Gumby series was successful because it presented its audience with the engaging duo of Gumby, an adventurous hero, and his pony pal Pokey, whoâs usually more reluctant to go on adventures. Gumby may have his feet on the ground, but his head is in the clouds. Pokey, on the other hand, is tied to the earth. Thatâs why he has the colors of earth, orange and black, which together make the color of the rich soil that is the basis for all growth on earth. Where Gumby is idealistic, Pokey is skeptical.
