Gumby

I could've thought of a more dignified character with the same attributes. Mr. Fantastic or Lastikman. But Gumby does the job of description. I feel like Gumby, pulled in different directions and stretching to the point of breaking. I've considered the fact that Gumby didn't have a backbone but that is not the point. The analogy is not about having a spine or not. It's of being pulled by opposing forces in opposite directions to the edge of the stretching point.

I bet Gumby didn't enjoy it either. I mean, who would? It's as if you were the plaything of the universe, and Gumby never asked to be pulled to and fro (for that we have art clokey to thank) In a few ways I feel like Gumby.
