    IMG_6565.JPG IMG_6524.JPG Bought this guy at one of my local places this weekend. Even the guy selling it had no idea what it is. I've tried googling and image searches to no avail. It's hard to tell from the pic but it's huge! Like at least 4' tall and like 3' wide. Material is slightly stretchy but water tight. It's somewhat bottom heavy but not really enough to pop up like a bozo the clown, just enough to stay upright well. As soon as I saw it I HAD to have it and it was Friday the 13th full moon so my friends all say it's haunted :) anybhelp would be appreciated, I'm including a pic of the logo on the back (which I was also unsuccessful in identifying.)

    Thanks!!

    Welcome!
    Something from a circus, carnival or amusement park probably.
    Where is that copyrighted logo on it?

    Kinda reminds me of the cartoon character the Schmoo. And it looks like a bean bag chair, but I take it it's not squishy enough to sit in...?
