Frumpy the Clown Volume 2: The Fat Lady Sings

By Judd Winick

Frumpy is not your typical clown. He doesn't do birthday parties, he isn't in the circus, and he's never run for public office. Instead, Frumpy is a chain-smoking, cynical anarchist who is more interested in sticking it to the stuffed-shirt establishment than making balloon animals or performing in the center ring. Whether he's filling in for the elementary school music teacher, dishing legal advice to the kids, or going paintballing with the guys, Frumpy entertains, enlightens and always surprises. Judd Winick's early newspaper work tells of one clown's attempts to assimilate into suburban life, or at least get suburban life to assimilate to him.

what xerox machines are made for....

This book has been knock'n around our house for afew years now (we have teen age boys...) In the midsts of a head cold, I read it cover to cover. It's so P.C. that it makes fun of being P.C. I rec. it to all. HOWEVER, imagine my surprise when I thought I'd pick up afew extra copies, or even just one...$99 BUCKS!!....Free enterprise gone awry!!!!! So, if ya can, make alot of copies of one you already own (Frumpy would definitely approve!)

Alas, poor Frumpy. I knew him well.

There isn't much more that I can say about Frumpy the Clown: Volume 2, that I didn't say in my review about Frumpy the Clown: Volume 1. It's more of the same, wonderful, caring, sarcastic, understanding, slovenly, compassionate, bitter clown. The major difference between Volume 1 (Freaking Out the Neighbors) and Volume 2 (The Fat Lady Sings) is that, sadly, Volume 2 is the final Frumpy the Clown volume. So get your fill.
