The Clown

The Clown is the gatekeeper of the Carnival. He is apparently very devoted to his job, because he still comes to work even when he is gravelly ill. He tells Mike Dawson to go and get his medicine or else he will die. Mike agrees to do this, but he can't because there is an anvil on top of the cooler containing the clown's medicine. He tries to get Gargan the strongman to move the anvil for him, but Gargan is too depressed to want to assist Mike or do anything else,fearing for his job due to low attendance of his show, and focuses on lifting his weights instead. After Mike uses the Dark World machine (the Ego-massager) to make Gargan feel better, he again asks him to move the anvil. But Gargan still does not move it because the clown has died by this time.
