Arthur "Art" Clokey was an American pioneer in the popularization of stop motion clay animation, best known as the creator of the character Gumby and the original voice of Gumby's sidekick, Pokey. Clokey's career began in 1953 with a film experiment called Gumbasia, influenced by his professor, Slavko Vorkapich, at the University of Southern California. Clokey and his wife Ruth subsequently came up with the clay character Gumby and his horse Pokey, who first appeared in the Howdy Doody Show and got their own series The Adventures of Gumby, from which they became a familiar presence on American television; the characters enjoyed a renewal of interest in the 1980s when American actor and comedian Eddie Murphy parodied Gumby in a skit on Saturday Night Live. Clokey's second most famous production is the duo of Davey and Goliath, funded by the Lutheran Church in America. Clokey founded the company Premavision around his Pokey franchise. At Webb School in Claremont, young Clokey came under the influence of teacher Ray Alf, who took students on expeditions digging for fossils and learning about the world around them.

Clokey studied geology at Pomona College, before leaving Pomona in 1943 to join the military during World War II. He graduated from his adoptive father's alma mater, Miami University, in 1948. Art Clokey made a few experimental and visually inventive short clay animation films for adults, including his first student film Gumbasia, the visually rich Mandala — described by Clokey as a metaphor for evolving human consciousness — and the bizarre The Clay Peacock, an elaboration on the animated NBC logo of the time. Consisting of animated clay shapes contorting to a jazz score, Gumbasia so intrigued Samuel G. Engel president of the Motion Pictures Producers Association, that he financed the pilot film for what became Clokey's The Gumby Show; the title Gumbasia was in homage to Walt Disney's Fantasia. In 1987, Clokey provided the voice for the figure Pokey in Arnold Leibovit's film The Puppetoon Movie; the Clokeys are credited with the clay-animation title sequences for the 1965 beach movies Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine and How to Stuff a Wild Bikini.

His son, Joe Clokey, continued the Davey and Goliath cartoon in 2004. In March 2007, KQED-TV broadcast the hour-long documentary Gumby Dharma as part of their Truly CA series. In 1995, Clokey and Dallas McKennon teamed up again for Gumby: a feature film; the movie was not a success at the box office and was panned by critics, although it saw modest success on home media, going on to sell more than a million copies on home media, cementing itself as a cult classic. It was released in its original 90-minute theatrical version on Blu-ray in 2017. In the mid-1990s, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network signed a contract with Art Clokey to air every episode of Gumby for its anchor spots at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. It was on top of their ratings for over three years. Clokey died in his sleep on January 8, 2010, at age 88, at his home in Los Osos, after suffering from a recurrent bladder infection. On October 13, 2011, a day after on what would have been Clokey's 90th birthday, Google paid homage to his life and works with an interactive logo doodle in the style of his clay animations, including Gumby, produced by Premavision Studios.

Nundroo is a small South Australian town, located 1,014 kilometres west of Adelaide. It is a popular rest stop for travellers due to its location on the Eyre Highway; the area was settled by sheep graziers in the 1860s. By the 1870s the Nundroo sheep station had been incorporated in the larger Yalata and Fowlers Bay sheep runs. In the following decade these vast runs were broken up as the original pastoral leases expired, opening the area up to such activities as grain farming; as an agriculture based town, its industries include grain growing farming. Nundroo has its motel, Nundroo Hotel Motel opened in 1957 and a roadhouse, the Nundroo Roadhouse, used a transient stop to Eucla and other nearby towns Coorabie, Fowlers Bay and the major town of Ceduna.

Jack Kerouac Reads On the Road is a compilation album by American novelist and poet Jack Kerouac, released posthumously on September 14, 1999. The centrepiece of the record is a 28-minute recitation by Kerouac from his book On the Road, recorded on an acetate disc in the 1950s but thought lost for decades, had only been rediscovered at the time of release. Other tracks feature Kerouac singing renditions of Jazz hits from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s alongside songs and poems of his own composition; the album closes with a cover of Kerouac's track "On the Road" performed by Tom Waits with Primus. Video footage of the recording of this track can be seen on the Primus release Videoplasty, the track itself was included on the Tom Waits collection Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, along with a version of the same song titled "Home I'll Never Be". Richie Unterberger, in his review for Allmusic, describes the album as "a worthy collection of Jack Kerouac's narratives and poetry", noting that it is enjoyable to hear Kerouac recite his work "since his prose had much of a jazz rhythm, since he was an engaging reader/performer himself."

Unterberger goes on to say that Kerouac's singing is "unexpected, amusing if not brilliant"
