The signature creation of cartoonist Roger Langridge, Fred the Clown is the thinking man's idiot. He has an eye for the ladies, as well as several other organs, but they are only willing to offer him a carefully placed kneecap. His foolish misadventures are a curious balance of bleakness and joyful absurdism, that can be traced back through Monty Python, The Goon Show and as far back as Lewis Carroll. Underlying it all is Langridge's meticulous brush style.
