Not sure why, but it reminds me of the cartoon about the lawyer who dressed as a clown. The lawyer/clown was seen to say to a potential client, “But think of this: If I wasn’t a VERY good lawyer, would I be able to practice law dressed as a clown?”
(Alan Moore, Watchmen): Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, “Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.” Man bursts into tears. Says, “But doctor…I am Pagliacci.”
Had Japan and or Germany won WW2 we may be speaking Japanese or German. China intends to supplant the USA as the economic and military power in the world (they already are aggressively so in the Far East), we may be speaking Mandarin or Cantonese if ever China gets its way. President Truman decided on dropping the bombs on Japan when his generals told him how many American lives will be lost to invade Japan after the many lives lost in Iwo Jima. “Keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer.” The Art of War – Sun Tzu

Clowns aren’t ‘happy go lucky’. They are depressed souls desperately crying out for attention.

The creepy part is that he just asked everybody else Why do you think I’m a clown?

Normal clowns run the gamut from sorrowful Emmett Kelly to goofball Bozo. Pennywise was an Alien concept.

Is there perhaps significance in that the clown & the woman closest to him are in clothes that Wiley added color?

John Wayne Gacy’s Pogo the Clown finds the line between Happy-Go-Lucky Air and Creepy. And opts for Creepy.

Works for another clown called Buttercup, who is running for office. Turned to drink because he just couldn’t take it anymore.
