FROM THE MIND THAT BROUGHT YOU MAGGOT MILKSHAKES IN GRYMM, THE FREAKISH EYEBALLERS OF JAGO, AND THE KITTEN TAPPER OF SNOW, COMES ANOTHER FANTASTICAL TALE OF GROTESQUERIE AND MADNESS.

     IT'S FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY! SORT OF ...

​

FROM THE UPCOMING FART CLOWNS:

 

"Oh, how they had loved those posters. They were like messages from some other, brighter universe where people communicated in swollen, rainbow-coloured typefaces and furious exclamation marks. Whatever else it might have been, it wasn’t a world where people whispered, that was for sure.

​

"And the messages that reached them from this parallel cosmos? They screamed about the imminent arrival of Dantalion Genesius’s Most Magnificent Pandemonium!! Two exclamation marks, no less. Two!! And what a name; part-promise, part-warning … all-seduction. At least for kids with an excess of imagination and summertime on their hands. Not a name any of them ever forgot, that’s for sure.

 

"They were wild, wonderful, wacky, and pregnant with promise and peril, those posters. After all, those were the days when circuses travelled with a full complement of lions and tigers and monkeys and elephants – all of them beautifully depicted with the requisite dash of danger, as if they were about to burst out of the paper and devour them all.

​

“Roll up! Roll up …” they screamed in vivid neon colors and a tangle of blocky typefaces, “… to the Most Magnificent Pandemonium Circus! SEE lions ROAR and tigers TAMED! LAUGH at Mr Giggles and his Jolly Japes! GASP as Tatiana the Trapeze Artist defies gravity! GASP at SAMSON the Strongman!”

​

"There was a lot more like that; Noah Willams joked that those posters were the cause of the Great Exclamation Mark and CAPITAL LETTER Drought later that year. They worked, though. By the end of the day everyone in town was in a frenzy talking about the imminent arrival of the circus and making plans to go."
