the big, floppy shoe thing makes a good point

There are people who are actually scared to deathof clowns. There is a name for it too.

Coulrophobia, Fear of Clowns

Kinemortophobia, Fear of Zombies

a double-win situation

Clownpocalypse

Why would anyone “prefer” an apocalypse of any sort… especially when we can’t avoid the Democrat-versus-Republican version every couple of years?

Grandpa clearly predates the coulrophobia epidemic by a few decades.

True,but they have those souped-up clown cars!!

What about a ‘Zombie-Clown Apocalypse’?

Depends on which zombies; the old fashioned slow kind or the newer faster models.

Just how many clowns fit in a little car?

Yeah, and the red noses make a good aiming point!

So they can say

I TOLD YOU SO

My preacher’s been looking forward to it over 50 years.

Why would anyone be afraid of the great clowns like Emmet Kelly or Lou Jacobs? These were gentle men whose greatest love was making children laugh.

Plus they have delicious cream pies!

Or Ted Gianolus, the Famous Chicken who proved mime can be enjoyable.

I like his use of “Logic.”

Linguist

Real science can mix languages too. In the late 20th century, they changed a lot of the binomials, even disregarding the custom that the first to describe gets to name it. The worst of these was throwing out the original – Linnaeus’s Felis domesticus became the cacophenous F. catus!

But zombies are known for their slowness. And clowns can drive cars.
