And speaking of clowns – the more PG kind – we are sad to report that Emmett Kelly Jr, son of Emmett Kelly Sr, has died of complications from pneumonia, in Tombstone, Arizona. He was 83. Of course, he was all about sad. His father created the sad tramp circus clown known as Weary Willie, and his mother was a trapeze artist. Emmett Jr followed in his father’s really big footsteps, debuting his own version of Weary Willie in 1960 at the Circus Festival in Peru, Indiana. (Source)
