Before ROAD TRIP, before BARRY WEEN, there was FRUMPY THE CLOWN! And hey, isn't it true that every child wants his or her own clown? Forget ponies and puppy dogs and hamsters, a clown is the true prize. And not the creepy kind that's gonna freak you out and make you soil your shorts either, but a chain-smoking, cynical, anarchist clown who's more interested in sticking it to the stuffed-shirt establishment than getting a job or focusing on the finer points of personal hygiene. When Frumpy enters the home of a typical American family, the children, Brad and Kim, are ecstatic. Their parents, neighbors, and local law enforcement, on the other hand, wish he would go away.

When Frumpy enters the home of a typical American family, the children, Brad and Kim, are ecstatic. Their parents, neighbors, and local law enforcement, on the other hand, wish he would go away. In this year of new beginnings, with a new President in the White House and the dawn of the true millennium, a new patriot will come to the fore-Frumpy the Clown. Like all great patriots of old, you may not realize his true American spirit initially. He seems cranky, paranoid, even a tad smelly. But it's these very qualities which have signaled true visionaries of the past. The iconoclast is always the delusional crackpot who lives in a shack and looks like he belongs in a mental institution as he lurks through normal society, shaking things up from the inside. And Frumpy is doing just that! Having moved in with your typical suburban, nuclear family, he is warping the minds of the children and the family dog, showing them the dark truth behind the bright facade of life. You have been warned! The future revolution starts here! In these very reprints of Judd Winick's classic newspaper comic strips, the hilarious Frumpy the Clown. 1.
