So to answer last week’s controversy, Matt’s count of clowns was “about twenty.”
Of course that’s not admissible as evidence. I didn’t have a clown quota when I did the strip, so I went back to count clowns.
I personally counted 18, then I went back to last week’s strip and took apart all the layers of the drawing. The official count is 19 clowns.
So, it’s probably evil to beat up someone who’s job description is to make kids laugh. But it was self-defense… and clowns are scary.
