Since this issue is double-wide and we need to fill some extra pages, we get two Leonardi Sleepwalker pin-ups... the first is nice... the second is kinda... silly? but it probably would have made and interesting cover maybe?

So with my Circus Story, I have the beginning and the end in my head but still haven't got the middle (just one of the many pains of having lots of stories, I end up neglecting some while focusing on others). Anyway, I decided to draw the ending.
So to recap, the story starts in 1910 with Steven and his pet monkey Rambo, two poor penniless friends making a living on the streets as peanut vendors. One day when the circus comes to town, Steven gets hired to travel with the circus to continue being a peanut vendor at shows. While in the circus he falls in love with the trapeze artist Dolores, the sad, abused niece of the cruel and greedy ringmaster James.
Among the other performers he meets are:
Sydney and Carolina, the conjoined twin daughters of Dolores
Adonis, the lovable strongman who is a big brother type figure to Dolores and becomes one to Steven
Norman, a legless man and Adonis's closest friend
Helga, a warm and loving bearded lady who is an adoptive mother to Dolores
Madame Eugenia, a fortune teller with a pet monkey of her own named Esmerelda
Charlotte, an albino African-American woman who is a sister figure to Dolores
Lydia, a snarky, chain-smoking tattooed lady who is Charlotte's girlfriend and best friend to Dolores
Mina and Harold, a married dwarf couple
And Danny, a hyper and friendly 10 year old boy with hypertrichosis
At some point in the story when Steven and Dolores fall in love, Dolores confesses to Steven that she has a fantasy of one day stealing all of her uncle's money and running away to retire in a big house with all of the other performers to live in together. Well sometime after that there's a climatic uprising against James which ends with James and Steven fighting each other which leads to James dying in a way I haven't thought of yet (I do know I want it to be a "Disney Villain Death" as Tv Tropes calls it (tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php…) because I can't imagine Steven as a murderer).
Anyway, the story ends with Dolores's fantasy coming true as everyone buys a big house to live in, Steven and Dolores get married and he becomes Sydney and Carolina's adopted father, and the two of them even have a son together named Benjamin.
Oh, and Rambo and Esmerelda end up falling in love and having three babies, Bobo, Bozo and Mimi (yes I reused previous drawings of Rambo and Esmerelda, I was tired once I got to them, sue me).

I have no idea why they keep trying to make Sleepwalker a big part of the Infinity Arcs, but him just randomly poisoning some of his Host's body's oj with sleeping pills so he can sneak out is super funny...
But also to be pedantic... in the main Sleepwalker book, Rick and Sleepwalker separated so this wouldn't even matter.

My first puppy. We grew up together. Today you take a piece of my heart with you. Thank you for everything, Rambo.
