From Dave...

Thank you, and thanks to Dean, for running the pictures of me (and for the kind words about my Dan Rice book). I especially like the close-up of my early attempt to avoid the cliches of Happy Clown and instead, rebelliously challenging convention, go straight for Bad-Makeup Clown. That includes the wig I made in Clown College. However, to show that I did keep working on my makeup (and decided to pay for a yak wig), here are a couple other shots, one in black-&-white and one in color. Because Dick Van Dyke has been in the blog conversation lately, I'm also sending one of him from the days when he liked clowns, with a clown who, as the caption says, "was not identified."
