I am sure that if I was back in my time machine to a time before radio or television that I would have been all over these posters advertisisng a flea circus. The hype never lives up to the actual event but they sure knew how to sell back then.
I should say I painted them in '05 and posted them on by blog in '07. I agree with you too. I would have been all over the side shows back in the old days.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

I agree with you. If I could go back 100 years or so, I would have been a sideshow fanatic. Ah well...
Serendipity or coincidence, lookey what else I stumbled across today:
Victorian Flea Circuses
"...they sure knew how to sell back then."
I'm laughing my ass of 'cause I painted those posters in 2007.
