The Exploding Chair #5

Posted By on October 23, 2011

The exploding chair is one clown gag that I have never seen. I have seen the collapsing chair gag that exploded but not the rocking chair. This very well could be the same thing. Bones was a good inventor and he would change gags to make them just a little different to fit his clown character. Photo was taken on the Al G. Barnes Circus in the mid 1930’s.
