Walter Gibson, The Bunko Book (1946)
All of our characters are honoring actual side show performers, both current and of the past, as well as what are known as “working acts.”
Many of the great performers were "Human Oddities" or "Anatomical Wonders" as "Freaks" was used only by the public and was considered crass and insulting. They entered into “showbiz” due to the alternatives being nonexistent or even dire. However, in the sideshow they found family, love, a sense of community and were almost always payed more than the regular working acts due to their uniqueness.
We wish to honor those who shared their gifts with the world by choice, and who made careers as sideshow performers. We hope to honor their creativity, courage and generosity of spirit with our flavors as well as tell their stories to, hopefully, inspire others and promote the idea that being different is cool.
