A children's book for adults, or at least those who can handle a few foul words and dark themes of being a washed up clown. The tale of Jerry the Sad Clown, written and illustrated by Austin Gillespie, is a "touching" and "kinda messed up bro but I liked it" story, depending on who I asked. As Jerry knows all too well, being a clown isn't always a good time. And for him, that seems to be more often than not.
