That's what makes them creepy.<br /><br />However, there are positive renditions of clowns. In Barry Longyear's Circus World series, every person has their regular profession, and their circus profession (the spaceship City of Baraboo crashed on the planet carrying a circus). Often, those professions are close -- a cowboy might be a stunt rider, for example. It's sort of implied that clown, real clowns, tend towards legal professions, because they have to be clever in how they persuade others. Dueling Clowns is an excellent short story showing that old-school is sometimes a lot better than any new gimmick.raitonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-17070094689370556212017-04-03T01:01:54.060-04:002017-04-03T01:01:54.060-04:00American Horror Story:Freakshow clown
