GUMBY WINTER FUN SPECIAL #1 Comic Book
In Hell the damned are subjected to 72-hour Karen Valentine film festivals, a twenty-year Hee-Haw retrospective and pop songs from the 1970s such as “Muskrat Love.” These are only some of the surprising bits of satire to be found in Gumby’s Winter Fun Special, a genuinely funny book that features Gumby and Pokey on a mission to the Underworld with the Mole People to rescue Santa Claus. Santa has been sentenced to Hell due to a bureaucratic glitch. In another unique twist, the Mole People know Santa as Ray Crabbe, his headquarters are in Morocco, and he looks a whole lot like Sean Connery. Nevertheless, he is quite a catch for Beelzebub, or as Gumby refers to him, Mr. Bub.
The book can be appreciated on two levels: a charming story featuring Gumby (the popular Claymation character created by Art Clokey), and an absurd romp through pop culture with crisp, clean art by Arthur Adams.
Highly Recommended!
