Gumby #2

In Gumby #2, the misfit duo of Gumby and Pokey take on odd jobs at a traveling circus to afford a pair of Über Boots, only to find themselves caught in a surreal twist when Gumby befriends a young acrobat named Mezika. After a mysterious ringmaster hypnotizes Gumby into believing he’s a Golem, his friends must band together to free him from the circus’s strange spell. Written by Bob Burden and illustrated with bold, expressive art by Rick Geary—whose distinctive style extends to the cover—this 2006 adventure blends whimsy and unease in a story that’s as much about identity as it is about escape.
