"The clown held a bunch of balloons, all colors, like gorgeous ripe fruit in one hand. In the other he held George's newspaper boat. Want your boat, Georgie? The clown smiled. And how about a balloon? Well sure! George reached forward .. and then drew his hand reluctantly back. I'm not supposed to take stuff from strangers. My dad said so. Very wise of your dad, the clown in the storm drain said, smiling. Very wise indeed."
"The first time that the malevolent shapeshifter appears in Stephen King's 1986 novel It, the creature introduces itself not only as its infamous clown form, but also with a name that seems oddly ordinary: Bob Gray. That name now takes on greater and more tragic meaning as a result of Sunday's episode of the HBO series It: Welcome To Derry."
The malevolent shapeshifter first uses the ordinary-sounding name Bob Gray while appearing in clown form and addressing a child at a storm drain. That ordinary alias gains new, tragic resonance following revelations in episode 7, "The Black Spot," of the HBO series It: Welcome to Derry. The episode supplies additional scenes that flesh out the Bob Gray persona, including a trailer moment where Bob Gray reaches to hug his daughter Ingrid as she performs a clown character named Periwinkle. Some aspects of who Bob Gray truly was remain unexplained, leaving lingering questions about the name's origin and meaning.
