Another accident happened today.

Let us have a moment of silence for "Harry of the High Dive."



Please avert your eyes, and make your way to the nearest exit.

I love these morbid little guys so much.

Not Harry!

Maureen said...

Ouch! Poor, poor Harry.

He was too young to go splat...

Ah Harry we hardly knew ya! We had such high hopes but how were we to know he was blind as a bat!

On with the blather

Sad thing is, it probably would have been just as tragic had he hit the water.

Adieu!

silvergirl said...

yeah, i agree with abi; i sort of can't deal with how awesome these circus-themed posts are...! keep up the good work, Terry.

Tatman said...

Oooh, the horror of it all. Maybe someday it'll show up on the video "Faces Of Circus Peanut Deaths".

Harry will be faceless, of course.

Thanks for the laugh.....again.

Terry said...

Thanks all!

People have started to become suspicious, since I always seem to be around when something goes wrong.

I can assure you that I'm simply an unbiased journalist.

Elena said...

OH NO!!

Poor Harry!!

Is it wrong that I have the biggest grin right now?

Did YoYo the Clown move the water tank again?!

Darcy said...

These are great! They totally remind me of Gorey's "Gashlycrumb Tinies", one of my favorite things ever.

Has anyone seen Stardust? I'm imagining a line-up of the circus peanuts like the ghosts in that- one cut in half, one splatted, one blown into lots of crispy fragments...

Ever since the high wire tragedy, I've been very concerned about the trapeze artists falling into their net. I suspect that circus peanut flesh falling at terminal velocity and a taught wire mesh don't mix very well. I hope they take appropriate precautions.

You ruined it djn485, now we're bound to never get a peanut-through-the-mesh pose. Terry doesn't do any that people suggest.

I was silently hoping for that one for a while too.

This story makes me remember to keep a list of Los Angeles car accident attorneys in my wallet, it could come in handy if more things like this happen :-)

Oh my! Why does this look funny yet terribly wrong? I get too anxious when talking about accidents. I had a friend who was in a recent car accident and it became very messy and she had to hire a San Diego Auto Accident Attorney to make sure she gets the guy who rammed into her car.
