This is the sort of book where no one's going to believe me when I insist it's good.
Less horror than Ice Cream Man but otherwise in a similar vein of storytelling, Haha is an anthology series of various clowns facing off against the weight and decline of life overshadowing them. Careers, family trauma, aging, a world that feels more uncertain by the day--Prince balances nihilism and hope in a way that shouldn't work. But somehow, Sad Clown Stories not only works--it's engaging, thoughtful, and layered--delivering comics storytelling in the way that only Prince can. With a brief jaunt into the Ice Cream Man universe, and creative talents from regular collaborators and new artists, Haha is fascinating, strange, and heartfelt--and its separate pieces manage to create a greater whole as each of these clowns faces a crossroads in life and makes a decision--for better or worse.

Well that was one of the strangest and most heart breaking things that I’ve read in a long time
NOT for anyone feeling fragile.
Props for a couple of Ice Cream Man Easter eggs, and I’m 99% sure that there was an Arthur Fleck Joker reference.
