Lilly : You said you were going to match this little figure in some way, Ronnie . . ?
Ronnie : I was aiming to but only my red nose and the greasepaint has arrived so far.
Lilly : Oh, my . . what, no zither ??

Sorry, I don't get the punch ... tried Google translate but it comes up with something very strange ;) And don't think Pierrots have got red noses Ronnie!

@Monique: You are so right, Monique. The joke is firmly on me for getting my Pierrots mixed up with my Clowns. (red-faced Ronnie)
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
Oh! Don't you have a zither, Ronnie? Such a common musical instrument these days.

:-) So clever. I enjoyed this one very much--going back and forth looking at each side. That little figure is so adorable and the red makes it even more so. I'm smiling, as I always do when viewing this excellent blog.

Is this Alonso, the Zither-playing clown? Don't worry, he's not imitable. :o)

Oh don't hold up things because of the zither. But Ronnie, you are already making a mess of things.
The little clown figure looks collectible, I like it.
Thanks for the humor!

Such small fingerprints you have! :-) This is reminiscent of my college days and wearing the orange and blue paint on my face. Thanks for the memories.

@Steven: hee hee . . yes, I was puzzled by how small those prints came out - they are about half the size of what I'd give to the Police Department ! (Ronnie)
Chris from South Jersey, United States
I think we still want to see you as a clown Ronnie - even if you don't have a zither (can I say that on the Internet?)......

Great composition, like the two side-by-side images. Interesting red effect and with the clown too.

A zithering clown doesn't sound like all that much fun anyway!

My english isn't that good that I can understand the subtle humor here I'm afraid (dunno what at zither is), anyway I love the tones and your compo; very harmonious and pleasant, it's cool too to sometimes focus only on the image and I don't feel that frustrated since it's a real nice one (love how red & blonde work here)

@k@: We love you to visit whatever message you take away, Karine. If I tried to explain the 'joke', Lilly would probably tell me I got it wrong and that's not how she saw it at all . . .lol . .
Amanda from Jersey City, United States
Oh, poor Lilly seems beside herself that Ronnie doesn't have a zither. :) PS: How many people Googled "zither" after reading your post. :)

@Amanda: ha ha . . well, I know I checked out the Wiki page before I posted - cannot be too careful what with all these confusing words about !! Thanks, Amanda.

Christel from Köln, Germany
Good evening .....
I do not understand the joke, but like the clown a lot. I love clowns. Although they make fun profound, but are in reality intrinsically very sad. Your idea is good and encourages to think of. Best regards Christel

@Christel: hee hee . . thank you for your visit and Comment, Christel. The joke is always on me whatever it is, so, never to worry ! (Ronnie)

What? No zither? That is unacceptable! I think I may have mentioned this before (stop me if you've heard this), but I just love the convos between you and Lily. This one cracks me up and what great images to accompany it!

Very nice and unique. It really like the pairing of the clown and the paint. It is a great combination of still lifes.

Zither eh? I guess I am one of those who don't get it either. I'm such a party pooper. LOL! I am giggling and I don't know why, so I guess you got me! : )

@Dawn: hee hee . . giggling is good - believe me ! (Ronnie)

I can see the red nose and some of the chicks on Ronnie picture. Would you try to paint all the clown?

I wasn't going to say clever until I realized you'd left your prints behind.
