You know, I never thought much about Emmett Kelly until I read this quote by him, about his primary "clown" character:

“'Weary Willie' is very real to me. He is a man who has given up. The boat has gone and left him. The cards are stacked against him. He's content to make out with what he's got. He knows he'll go no further.”
