I already think Wiley is an editorial genius, and love getting in quickly when I see a strip whose art I simply have to have. This characterization of the US Jester-in-Chief was worth the price of admission alone, but the entire strip this day was inspired. I asked for what I thought was an appropriate inscription: a clip from “Send in the Clowns” (written by Stephen Sondheim for the 1973 musical A Little Night Music, popularized immediately by Frank Sinatra and charted, for those of us of a certain age, by Judy Collins in 1975):

But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns. Don’t bother, they’re here.
