At the Circus in Black and White


In the tradition of F. W. Glasier, Dull Tool Dim Bulb incorporates a new mini-series, "At the Circus in Black and White" I will post an amateur vernacular photograph of the sideshow weekly.

  1. I met Zippy The Roller Skating Chimpanzee at a party in the 70's. He had on skates and a little suit and sat on the sofa with me and held my hand, which was a little creepy, but most what I remember most was how much he looked like George Burns.

  2. In the 1950's there was a carnival or sideshow act
    which featured little monkeys strapped into midget cars and racing around a track. I'm not sure if it would have beat the jungle or not.
