Blanket + Back Slot = Cape

[Sundance]

Since I'm pretty sure clown has a fanny pack he has a back slot open to a clown like cape.

Just throwing that out there.

When a clown is wearing the cape, he should have a small % chance of it getting stuck in every door he passes causing him to flip and slip

Rudolf Honkingdale's cape gets jammed in the door, throwing him to the ground!

Also, as regards sprites, i'd do one, but I personally think if you cropped the batman cape that has that neat animation would not only suffice, but would be dope.
