Foot Feathering Clowns (FMM/M)

Buy your lotto ticket, because I humored an old request and drew some M/M.

"Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Smiley and Wily at your service! Tough day at the office? Step right up, you're in for a treat! If our gags don't do it, we tickle your feet!"

In case you're drawing comparison, YES, this is spiritually inspired by that old coloring book image (it makes its way around here now and then) of the 2 clowns hassling some everyday Joe, with one of the harlequin hobo's using a feather to tickle the sole of his foot. I decided to draw appearances somewhat consistent with that 1950's sterility, with the stalwart young business man serving as the patsy, not realizing these circus boys were going to tickle him anyway. I ran out of room on the sketch but the 3rd hand is supposed to be a woman participating from the audience. That conservative demeanor helps emphasize the humiliating weakness of the feet being so ticklish :nod:

I might do a sequel with him and his wife both getting it. Still undecided.

There's something about clowns as ticklers. I think the notion of jester's immunity expands to this sort of harassment in a way, and so they feel like a force of nature (with regard to the culture of tickling feet, that is), rather than a overcome-able antagonist/rival/enemy/etc.

Would much rather missus was in his place, but you can't deny the guys equal opportunity! Not in the Eisenhower era! The clowns are rather mild-mannered gents, such a diversion from the usual feral depiction of such jokesters that it's startling, while hubby does indeed look as though he's stepped right out of early-TV/magazine advertising... so much so that I find myself wondering where his gray pinstriped coat and fedora disappeared to! Guess they came off first!
