Bummer the Clown at rest

O'er turf and o'er beast so happily I rest. Work light and eat well, as I taunt the circus pests; Who so capital, so blithe as I?

Autograph: Cazoo the Clown

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Cazoo the Clown is a mime, and is a good friend of mime, I never understood a single word he never said, as we drank his turpentine.

CIRCUS 13, Our first Pocket Book - 1997


Click On Images For A Closer View
What do you know? Here's our fist pocket book conveniently located on the circuswater.blogspot. Through an unlikely series of events, Cheato was put in charge of the circus and although he had all of the best intentions, he caused un-imaginable damage. As time goes on, we'll bring out more vintage CIRCUS 13 adventures for your pleasure/disgust. You'll be happy to know that there's tons of other Circus 13 stuff floating around out there that has NOTHING to do with us.  In fact, we'd be happy to know that we had nothing to do with us!

Inside our first issue

It's plain to see why sensitive readers were put off by our 1st Circus 13 Pocket Book. Little did they know that the preliminaries of our comic books were made of sand by talented weirdos. It's true (as the photo indicates) that beach detectives did find an actual elephant under a thin covering of sand. We were in trouble, but it was a cute kind of trouble. Like when Baby Bleaker wore purses for shoes.

El Topo - Big Screen Thrills

One of the best Friday the 13th holidays ever! We thought we were going to see a movie starring that cute little mouse from the Ed Sullivan Show. The kids had Snow Caps & Necco Wafers.

Just for the Record

The 45 rpm record is inside the jacket and still plays.
Come to think of it, the record was also inside my jacket when I borrowed it from the record shop. Hey tadpoles, I'm just foolin' - stealing is a sin unless you're an elected official.

Attack of the Chess Club President


ATTACK OF THE CHESS CLUB PRESIDENT
1959 Leisure Films
PRODUCERS: James Ferro, Vicky Ticks
DIRECTOR: James Ferro Jr.
SCREENWRITER: Tish D. Lufkin
The president of a high school chess club becomes enraged over a painting of a woman wearing a large bonnet. Boasting A Rock 'n Roll soundtrack by Fractured Orbit.
With Robert Angerosa, Beth Eckstein, Patty Furrow and introducing Dan Fridley.

"What honesty. James Ferro Jr. is a primitive genius!"
Stephen LaPato
Film critic for the Bails Daily

The guitarist from Fractured Orbit was none other than, Dopey W. Wills, who (before being committed to a trailer park based asylum) become a prominent member of the hot, Hollywood mid sixties combo Dino, Desi, Dopey and Young. 
Watch for the PCS documentary "I WAS YOUNGER THAN YOUNG!" that features the rants and raves of Dopey W. Wills who claims to have been "ripped off " by everyone in the music business from Beethoven to Fractured Orbit, and beyond. His tragic insanity will give you a chuckle and a half.
