MILDRED….NÒOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! The eggs are like contracts. Painting them you lost your soul. Now Lottie has no choice if she want to save her friend. I wonder if she know Boozoo’s true identity.
sooo hmm based on past characters and the “comment of it could be anybody”, my vote is for little Claire for boozoos true identity, mainly for her single minded manias and for her ability to cleverly manipulate people. — and mildred was a pro clown plant.
In the day we sweat it out in the ring
of a barnum/bailey circus supreme
at night we ride fifteen to a car
while hurling pies of cream
baby this town rips the wig from your head
it’s a squirt-rose
it’s a big red nose
your painted smile hides your frown
but when you’re pale like us
baby you were born to clown

Hopefully Lottie has more micro-fiber wipes (they’re the pre-moistened kind) for use on Lottie! Clearly there’s MIND CONTROL in that there makeup!!
Lottie’s not fooling around. She wiped Boozoo’s yellow nose right off.
the weakness of the clown . . . their vanity!
Hi hi hi!
The clown side is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Though some abilities can be handy.
Like being able to comfortably sit in the back seat of a sub-compact.
Behind the driver.
Who’s 6’4″.
By Scooby Doo rules, there are only ever two non-gang characters per mystery, and one is the bad guy. It seems like John has been ruled out…
…so it’s Jack’s dad, the hairdresser.
Mildred did seem to get in the swing of it, rather quickly, though. Perhaps her clown-name is Zebrara?
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
If Lottie had accepted the clown wig, she’d have gotten her Japanese Digital Perm (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) for free.
Hmm. Only on my second reading did I realize that something odd is going on with the border of the last panel…
The boundaries of Lotties sane, logical little world are fraying…
Lottie’s shoulder?
The border-less top panel is lovely too.
Oh no, Mildred has been clownified!
*cue the creepily distorted circus music*

It might take two Little Claires to be as big as Boozoo.
Growth spurt?
yep becuase all of them so far are taller and a growth spurt for little claire isnt too much a of a leap her dad is tall
Claire appeared in Wicked Things, which took place not long before this story. She was still, uh, little. Shorter than Lottie.
Okay, here are a few off-the-wall theories:
1) Boozoo is actually poor John Cloake’s granddaughter.
2) The whole thing is a setup by Mildred to get Lottie out of her funk and into mystery-solving again. She even faked her phobia.
3) Adult Scout had been exciled from the future without any future tech and her bitterness and unstable mentality have caused her to become Boozoo.
4) It’s all a dream.
5) (Almost forgot!) Mrs Terry!
I’m sure I’ll think of more later.
You forgot
6) ShaXna!
7) Len Pickering
8) Rod Stewart
9) Sonny’s sister Cecile
10) “Fit mum”
Maybe Smokey Robinson. Didn’t he sing “Tears of a Clown”?
Boozoo’s body has looked more female than male to me.
That being said, I’ll always put money on Len Pickering’s stallion.
Shine on, Len, you beautiful, crazy diamond.
11) Ljubljana – she finally found her egg people
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE’S BAAAAACK!
This would be even better than Gibbous Moon!
12) Boozoo is actually- Pennywise, from Stephen King’s IT! Lottie was right- Mildred’s fear has been perfectly rational all along.
13) Boozoo is actually Desmond Fishman’s mother, the Fiji Mermaid!
A jester unemployed
Is nobody’s fool!
John has taken the unsound effect to new heights.
“J’accuse” and “J’accuse Redux” have been rendered measly and bargin-bin efforts in the FACE (geddit!) of “Micro-Fibre Wipe”.
This storyline continues to be alarmingly similar to a recent conflict in the One Piece tabletop campaign I’m in. Right down to the clown eggs.
Hope Lottie saved a Micro-fibre wipe for Mildred. And herself, for that matter.
Looks like Mildred has morphed into a *seriously* dangerous nutter.
Seriously?! She’s a clown!!!
Boozoo is striped yellow/black and has bee-like shapes.
The Queen of course. Will the UK ever get rid of the Monarchy?
Ooh! Why didn’t I think of that one?
Clowns are a right good laugh once you get to know them.
Shauna already did a whole painted face stint during the m
Mod/Rocker war.

Brilliant! Makes me glad I checked yesterday’s comments one more time.
