It finds our hero Fred pitching the woo to a lovely equestrian. But with matrimony-minded fathers, boorish beaus, and malicious mad scientists interfering at every opportunity, what's a clown--and his faithful pig companion--to do? Langridge's velvety grays evoke the silent films of his patron saint, Buster Keaton (and, in this volume particularly, the latter's masterpiece, The General). His craft is at a zenith, and captures every screwball twist and turn of the heiress's and our hero's romantic roundabout."--Publisher website. 650 0 $a Clowns $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Theater of the absurd $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Clowns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864913 650 7 $a Theater of the absurd. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149347 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921613 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726630 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006111909.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710023905.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C108E45CE55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
