Slivers Oakley
Here's a drawing I made of Slivers Oakley, the famous circus clown from the early part of the twentieth century. He performed solo in the ring for thousands with the Barnum and Bailey Circus and was famous for his tour de force baseball gag in which he was all the players. Below is a bit of biographical info from Wikipedia.
