You gotta love JP Patches if you grew up in Seattle - there's a project to put up a statue with pavers all around to celebrate him. If you recognize any of the following, you gotta contribute:

Patches Pal
ICU2 TV Set
Gertrude
Esmerelda
The City Dump
Ketchikan the Animal Man
Miss Smith

Chris Weems, the man behind the clown, is dying of cancer. Crap.
