It was a popular program at our house in the late fifties early sixties.

If it is who I remember, he had a blond soul patch extending to his chin. My dad, who hated facial hair, thought Gnagy looked like he had milk dripping out of his mouth.

As a kid, I had one of his drawing kits. It may have been a Christmas gift.

I remember seeing his TV bits, c. 1960 or so. Seems like something CKLW, channel 9 from Windsor, ON would show. It just seemed to pop up from time to time, maybe something the station used as filler between shows.
It was fascinating watching him, so let's Learn to Draw...

Yep -- my Mom was really into painting and drawing back then. We were living in Alaska at the time and he and Huckleberry hound are about the only two TV shows I remember watching.
I think Mom has all of his books and a couple of his sketches that she sent away for.

^^ Being born in '61, I'm not surprised your memory is shot.
