Within its pages, he serialized the groundbreaking \u003ci\u003eEd the Happy Clown\u003c\/i\u003e, revealing a macabre universe of parallel dimensions. Thanks to its wholly original yet disturbing story lines, \u003ci\u003eEd \u003c\/i\u003eset the stage for Brown to become a world-renowned cartoonist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEd the Happy Clown \u003c\/i\u003eis a hallucinatory tale that functions simultaneously as a dark roller-coaster ride of criminal activity and a scathing condemnation of religious and political charlatanism. As the world around him devolves into madness, the eponymous Ed escapes variously from a jealous boyfriend, sewer monsters, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and a janitor with a Jesus complex. Brown leaves us wondering, with every twist of the plot, just how Ed will get out of this scrape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe intimate, tangled world of \u003ci\u003eEd the Happy Clown \u003c\/i\u003eis definitively presented here, repackaged with a new foreword by the author and an extensive notes section, and is, like every Brown book, astonishingly perceptive about the zeitgeist of its time.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChester Brown \u003c\/b\u003elives in Toronto, where he ran for Parliament in the general election as a member of the Libertarian Party of Canada.
