There was an article in our paper about the closing of the circus. One of the clowns said that he would get within ten feet of the audience and see all the children with their faces lit up…by their smart phones. He knew he’d lost them.
Rat speaks the truth today. It was just Sunday evening that Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey circus put on its very last performance. and now its clowns are out of or looking for work.

To get food, he should have a sign that says, “Please throw pies at me.” Who could resist?

If I were destitute, I’d have a sign saying “willing to be seen in a VW for food”.

The tentmakers union has folded and the calliope factory has gone silent… all because of those clowns at Ringling Bros.

What are the Forces of Darkness gonna do when they’ve beaten the joy out of everything?

This is sure timely, with the Barnham and Bailey circus just closing for good last week.

It was 1951 and Breese Stevens Field field in Madison and my grandma took me and it was a Crosley.

Pastis would make the same amount if the subject of the strip was something else.

If the entire town population gave that poor clown food, that Volkswagen would have as much food as a restaurant!
