Pennywise's World

Somehow this is creepier than meeting him in a sewer grate. (Pennywise's World | Print) by Hillary White, based on Andrew Wyeth's Christina's World.)

Everybody Loves A Clown, So Why Don't You?

It was National Clown Week last week. Who knew? Well, maybe you did but it's the kind of thing you miss when you fall off the grid like I have. But it appears pop provocateur Ron English also knew and he celebrated with this adorable tramp in clown camouflage. Aww, aren't they cute when they're heavily armed?

My three favourite clowns of all time are:
1) Krusty the Clown (Krusty Brand Seal of Approval: It's not just good, it's good enough!)
2) Shakes the Clown (Bobcat Goldthwait in the Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies)
3) Ronald McDonald (I have such love/hate for that burger-pushing Harlequin)

I Find Your Lack of Mask Disturbing

Actually, a clown face with that breathing and voice would have been way more disturbing.  (Get the See Mike Draw tee at Neatorama)

Wil Wheaton And The Unicorn Kitteh Of Death!

Sometimes interweb culture gets so convoluted that it takes a serious amount of searching just to understand what is in a picture, let alone trying to explain why. Take, as a random example, above picture of Wil Wheaton riding a winged, unicorn kitten, wearing a clown shirt while fighting author John Scalzi as an orc, by artist Jeff Zugale.

Luckily the why is up to you: "So, here’s the plan: You write a 400 to 2,000 word fanfic about the picture above. Come at it from any angle you like to explain, illuminate or otherwise bring to life what’s going on in the picture above. Our only request is NO slash fanfic (please). But other than that, knock yourself out." (Link via Neatogeek)

Insane Clown Last Supper

Insane Clown Last Supper

The Last Supper is the image that keeps on giving. Today's iteration, evil, murderous clowns. Here's who I can identify:

(L-R): Joker (Jack Nicholson), Joker (Ceaser Romero), Joker (Heath Ledger), Krusty the Clown (The Simpsons), ?, Captain Spaulding (House of 1000 Corpses), Pennywise (It), Saw clown, Jack in the Box (fast food mascot), a jack-in-the-box, Homey D. Clown (In Living Color), John Wayne Gacy, Ronald McDonald.

So I don't recognize the clown with the KFC bucket in front of him, sitting in the traditional Judas spot. Perhaps he is betraying the Christ figure/Pennywise by being good. Anyone know who that is?

I also question Krusty's inclusion, unless it is actually the evil Talking Krusty Doll. In any case, he's at least Jewish. (Link via Dark Vomit, by way of Super Punch and Zeray Gazette)
