This is sad: Legendary Seattle kiddie show icon and TV clown J.P. Patches, drained by age and a battle with cancer, has made his final live appearance. It reminds me that we don't have local kiddie icons anymore -- in his heyday, J.P. could draw a mob to every appearance, like Wallace and Ladmo in Phoenix or Sally Starr in Philly or Rex Trailer in Boston or Bozo in Chicago... we don't have that connection anymore.
