Mystery Clowns

Clowns: even when it's only a group of Johnson-era tots dressing up, they give me the creeps. I'm especially put off by Miss Thing there, dead center, not to mention the little leg show that Bozette's giving over on the right. The sad harlequin in between, though, looks just about ready for Miss Quinn's kindergarten pageant version of Les Enfants du Paradis; him we like.

  3. 2nd from left - is that a jump rope or a garrote?

    This picture was taken outside John Wayne Gacy Elementary School in Norwood Park IL, wasn't it?

  4. For some reason I find the one with the jump rope a little less frightening than the others. Maybe it's that Picasso's Blue Period vibe.
