Frumpy is not your typical clown. He doesn't do birthday parties, he isn't in the circus, and he's never run for public office. Instead, Frumpy is a chain-smoking, cynical anarchist who is more interested in sticking it to the stuffed-shirt establishment than making balloon animals or performing in the center ring. Whether he's filling in for the elementary school music teacher, dishing legal advice to the kids, or going paintballing with the guys, Frumpy entertains, enlightens and always surprises. Judd Winick's early newspaper work tells of one clown's attempts to assimilate into suburban life, or at least get suburban life to assimilate to him.

Frumpy is hilarious,

This review is from: Frumpy the Clown, Vol. 2: The Fat Lady Sings (Paperback)
The most striking thing about the Frumpy strips are how seldom they use standard comic strip jokes. A wizard appears offering whatever you want and Frumpy asks for Abba on vinyl and a watermelon? Where'd that come from? Well the answer as near as I can tell is it isn't from anywhere else. It's completely original, which describes Frumpy to a tee. He's not always nice. I can't always relate to him. But I love how I can never guess what will be in the next strip.

This review is from: Frumpy the Clown, Vol. 2: The Fat Lady Sings (Paperback)
I remember getting the Chigago Sun-Times when this was a regular daily strip- I loved it! When I saw there were books out for it I knew I had to have it. I have enjoyed reading this more than I can express in mere words- if you enjoy comics such as The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes you will enjoy reading this.
