Prancing, dancing clowns in colorful costumes wield their three-tiered parasols as they "strut" to strains of Golden Slippers. Imaginative floats and presentations satirize everyday life. Comic motifs run the gamut from traditional to contemporary. The comics are judged in several different categories including floats, groups, brigades, couples, original costume, original character, and juvenile. The scores for each category are added up to crown the winning Comic Club.
