Found in the basement. I don't enjoy clowns (sorry, childhood trauma), but a few years ago, these 2 stamps wouldn't have bothered me.

2 old U.S. 5 cent stamps. The one on the left has CIRCUS at the top faintly in grey, and a red, white and black clown . He has a big red nose, tiny black hat, red hair, and the usual clownface makeup. The one on the right has VOICE OF AMERICA at the top and a radio tower with green and red circles symbolizing airwaves.

@mtechman That is one eerie and foreboding juxtapositions. I'm angling to make this into a #DS106 #DailyCreate.

@cogdog Go for it! I have family story for clowns but none for VOA, although...a related agency in Uganda had a small lending library and my father talked the hind legs off the person working there. The next thing we knew (OK it took awhile) he was a foreign student at UNC Chapel Hill.

@mtechman Always for the story. For unsure reasons my Mom started a collection of clown curios filling a wall cabinet

When she passed, my sisters and joked and cried "what are we going to do with the effing clowns?"

We each took one (small) clown

The rest we donated to the gift shop at the hospice that cared so well for my dad.

Clowns. There's usually a story there.

@cogdog remembering to breathe as I look at clowns and say to myself, "to each their own".
