Panel 4: The man smiles and points as he leaves the room. Man: "Goodnight!"

A six-panel comic. Panel 1: a woman at a desk reads aloud from a paper, "According to this study, young children are less anxious in the presence of a clown." Panel 2: a man thinks, chin on hand: "That could help Billy's panic attacks. But we don't have a clown suit. Unless..." Panel 3, captioned "Later...": the man, NOT in any costume, stands over his small red-haired son Billy in a dark bedroom, finger raised, announcing ominously, "Billy! Somewhere in here... is a CLOWN!" Panel 4: the man cheerfully points and leaves, "Goodnight!" Panel 5: an exterior night shot of the dark house, lit windows glowing, with a shadowy hunched figure lurking at the lower right. The joke: rather than buy a clown suit, the dad simply tells his anxious child a clown is hidden somewhere in his room, which is far more terrifying. Votey: a black panel where a sinister clown face with triangular eyes and a wide grin looms out of the darkness, saying, "Hi, Billy."
