“Big Top”, which is probably the second-funniest comic-most-folks-have-never-heard-of at a syndicated comics megasite (#1 is “Sheldon”, but he’ll have to wait for later.). Like so many others (“Sheldon” included), “Big Top’s” main character is a young boy who is upstaged by other wacky characters, primarily Wink the Bear, your basic big goof…
Dusty, a circus dog with identity issues..

Manfred, a monkey inventor with the serious design flaw of looking like he has a birds beak…

As you can see, “Big Top” is not afraid to deal with contemporary issues, and can be somewhat ‘edgy’ in its depiction of inter-species dating…

As well as some of those death-defying moments the circus is known for…

And the utter weirdness that is Stucco the Clown.

“Big Top” is on my IRIEDEIIWDTB* list.

Speaking peripherally of clowns, via the deeply and seriously strange new comic “Lio”.

Nothing I can use at the top of the page, but this is not the last you’ll hear from this weird kid.
