History

So Long, chumps

-- Obnoxio the Clown, from the cover of Crazy.  

Obnoxio the Clown was the mascot of the Marvel Comics humor magazine Crazy.

Character

Obnoxio was portrayed as a slovenly, vulgar, cigar-puffing middle-aged man in a torn and dirty clown suit, with a dyspeptic and cynical attitude.

Comic book

Obnoxio the Clown was also the title of a one-shot Marvel comic book that was published in April 1983. The plot centered on Obnoxio the Clown as a villain and unlikely ally against the X-Men. He and the group, at the X-Mansion, 'team-up' against Eye Scream, a villain that can transform into various types of ice cream. Only one issue was ever produced.

The sole issue of the comic book was written, illustrated, colored, and lettered by Alan Kupperberg; in a comment which Kupperberg attributes to Peter David, and which David attributes to James Owsley, the comic was described as "Written, penciled, inked and lettered by Alan Kupperberg. Yes, it’s untouched by human hands."

Novel

In the alternate reality depicted in the "Doctor Doom: The Chaos Trilogy" novels, written by Steven A. Roman, Obnoxio has a popular slapstick comedy show. Like anything on television, the show is approved by Doctor Doom's administration.^{[citation needed]}

• Though he is not seen in the game, Obnoxio is briefly mentioned as having been murdered in the Facebook game Marvel: Avengers Alliance.
