Character Information
|
The clown is a minor character in the The Amazing World of Gumball. He first appears in "The Procrastinators."
Appearance
The clown is a sinister-looking humanoid with white, wrinkly skin, a red nose, black slitlike eyes and red lips. He has wavy scarlet hair sticking out from behind his large head. Unusually for non-human characters on the series, he has five fingers on each hand.
In his debut, he wears a tiny hat, orange gloves, a checked yellow-and-green shirt under blue overalls, and a red bow tie.
In later episodes and onwards, the clown's costume is different. He wears a red waistcoat over a white shirt featuring a dark blue bowtie. He also wears a pair of white gloves. His lower body (not shown in his debut) is clad in checked long pants, a belt, and red shoes with yellow toecaps.
