Ian has been fantastic in supplying info and pictures regarding this legendary clown, and if anyone else wants to share the memories, or has any pictures, particularly from the 1980s/90s, it would be much appreciated. I want to create a comic strip that will be faithful to people's memories of him. He is certainly the one from 'Hi-De-Hi, or at least that was a replica of him. I would be so grateful for ANYTHING. I've got the story sussed, just need to decide on a design style.
