==Overview== The ''Gumby'' franchise follows Gumby's adventures through different environments and historical eras. His primary [[sidekick]] is Pokey, an [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] orange [[pony]]. His archnemeses are the Blockheads, a pair of silent, antagonistic, red humanoid figures with cube-shaped heads; one has the letter G on the side of his head, while the other has a J.
