Day 23: Small Clown, Big Hat


Clowns compel me. Not in that obnoxious "clowns are scary, clowns are creepy, kill the clowns" sort of way, nor in the treacly saccharin sunshine-and rainbows way either.

Like any art form, there is good and bad in the Clown realm, but some of the funniest stuff I've seen in my life has been in the clown arena. And also, some of the best people I know are such artists.

This is nobody in particular, though it could be considered a composite of aspects of clowns I know. I guess if pressed, I'd say he's part W.C. Fields, part Pickle Family Circus' Mr. Sniff, and part pimp.
