That Frank guy is a ringmaster now?

..great artwork and coloring…

Looks like somebody bought a sheet of the USPS vintage circus poster stamps.

Not too many traveling tent shows left.

Pome? Where does an apple or pear fit in?

A four-legged dog? Gosh—where did that come from?

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry.!!! See it now!!!

Frank King would have had a full 12 paneled page to present his circus and made a one page big top.

But you did.

Tortured? Your PC BS is running away with you.

I guess we can assume that you’ve never actually been anywhere NEAR where the animals are cared for, correct? That’s OK. It’s far easier to fake knowing what you’re talking about.

I do not fear the clowns. They’re harmless!

See the world’s tallest midgets !! See the Bearded Man !!See the world’s only stripe-less zebra !! Step right up folks, it’s all in-siiideee!! Only a ten-dollar bill !!Step right up !!

I remember the circus was like that when I was a child.

We get travelling tent circuses a few times a year, but mostly from Mexico.

Jim, the clown in the masthead looks a lot like Joseph Grimaldi (The man for whom Clowns were nicknamed “Joeys”)The Clown with the lion reminds me of Frosty Little

We haven’t seen Alison for some time.
