Fixing clowns is more a hobby.

There are those who believe that clowns should be fixed to keep the number of clowns down.

I love it when he goes in such a rando direction!

I really enjoy it when Dill rips off one of his pattented bon mots, usually as the final response in the last panel.

You can become a psychiatrist and help people in the entertainment industry with their mental health issues.

Dill may be leaning towards altruism here

My son had one of those squeaky hammers when he was a kid. To this day, he’s not good at fixing things.

Maybe it will work on the Jack-in-the-Box.

He’s also going to need a clown wrench.

Do you get the impression that Beni is underwhelmed by his gift? Just a little?

After a week of hammering his parents will give him a mime hammer.

If it sounds funny, it must be for fixing clowns! ☺

And I think we can all agree that “fixing” clowns would be a good thing, no?

You’re right, Dill. Besides, clowns can’t be fixed!

Cart herding is much more atractive career choice.

I remember the perverse appeal of those peg-bench things. The pegs stay in by friction, but you can hammer them through the holes until the tops are flush with the bench surface. Then there’s nothing to be done but turn it over and hammer in the other direction. Visibly an exercise in futility, yet it’s somehow satisfying to beat the pegs down over and over.
