“The Runaway” by Norman Rockwell on the cover of “Life” magazine, June 1, 1922.

            The boy ran away to the circus and the illustration was created in an era when a clown was taken to be a good person in funny make-up; that is, until Stephen King’s “It” and a rash of other scary stories that portrayed clowns as murderous psychopaths.  If the image looks somehow sinister, the dog in the clown hat with its chin resting on the clown’s knee should ease any worries about this clown’s intentions.
