OTTO GRIEBLING: By Cornell Capa, 1953



My new favorite photo of Otto Griebling, smoking a cigarette directly under the "No Smoking" sign, taken by Life magazine photographer Cornell Capa backstage at Madison Square Garden in 1953.

    A clear violation of the WCA's Clown Code of Ethics.

    I don't think Otto was ever a member of the WCA, yet he was still one of the greatest circus clowns of all time.
