So to answer last week’s controversy, Matt’s count of clowns was “about twenty.”
Of course that’s not admissible as evidence. I didn’t have a clown quota when I did the strip, so I went back to count clowns.
I personally counted 18, then I went back to last week’s strip and took apart all the layers of the drawing. The official count is 19 clowns.
So, it’s probably evil to beat up someone who’s job description is to make kids laugh. But it was self-defense… and clowns are scary.



I said 19 or 20! I was at least half right and that is good enough for me.
I award MerlinOfTheTower 3 Kick Points for guessing 19! It would have been 4 points but hedging your bet with the 20 cost you a point.
Just did a check, it was 19. If there is a 20th, then he is hidden very well.
I count 19 noses. There might be one more in the driver’s seat (there’s a leg), but that might be the clown next to that door. Hard to tell.
Fencepost error is alive and well in Javaland!!!
