Would a retiring clown be able to legitimately grant his makeup scheme etc to his child, apprentice, or other designated successor? knoodelhed 6 July 2005 10:16 (UTC)

An individual trained by a clown may, with the clown's permission, use parts of the clown's bits. This includes a part of the face design, sometimes worn to show that one comes from a certain "school" or was trained by a certain clown. However, one does not ever copy a clown's face...even if that clown is retiring. Generally speaking, one creates a unique clown. Certain exceptions are made if, for example, an individual is undertaking a whole clown. That is to say that the clown can be seperate from the performer and a man may take over a clown from his retired father. But in this case (which is rare) the entire clown's act (name, bit, etc) and not just his face is used. - 24.23.37.62 (talk) 05:11, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
