Bozo Skeleton
“This “BOZO SKELETON (aka Stupid Skeleton)” is obviously what a person looks like after death. But BOZO SKELETON handsomely wears a tight suit and a fancy hat, holds a flower, key, gun, pen…and looks in some sense adorable and also cool. It almost seems like he’s trying to do what he wanted to do before he died, and he’s enjoying himself while he whistles in the dark.
You never know when you are going to die in the world today, and you can feel the effort of a human trying to live the life to the fullest through this dead BOZO SKELETON.
This is a story of a departed soul trying to bring back the passion of a normal human being, the passion that living human beings hold.”
