2. Heads, not of Jesters, but no hands 
3. Hats  
3. Heads WITH Hands  ...  
1.  NOT holding Cards or Wands 
2. Holding Cards   
3. Holding Wands

Original....
This jester or joker section is built around only having the head and upper body, no legs! One visitor recently told me that this should be called the mug shot section.

This section now has four subsections (as illustrated below):

1. Jesters on a Stick  
2. Heads Only (no hands). 
3. Heads with Hands b ut NO Wands.  
4. Heads with Hands Holding a Wand. 

 This post is an outdated one from 2017 when these were still all mixed together.

 This subsection has  a head shot, a Jolly Joker! He has a jester-type hat and is surrounded by the four aces.

This is one of the most traditional classical modern jokers. Anybody know anything about who designed him and which card publisher he is associated with?

Heres's a scary jester variation on the classical jester headshot.

At times, I've organized all the girl jokers in one section but I've reverted to a more integrated approach.

In the jesters performing section of the collection, there is a subsection devoted to masks.  It's an interesting question (well, interesting to me and maybe to somebody else in the world), whether this joker belongs in the head shot section or the mask section.

Now, onto the section with more than just a head. These jokers have hands! (But not a full body)

This is another of the more traditional classical modern jokers. Anybody know anything about who designed him and which card publisher he is associated with?

This is a third  traditional classical modern jokers. Anybody know anything about who designed him and which card publisher he is associated with?

For clarity, Jokers who are simply a head or head and torso are not:
Jokers who are dancing
Jokers doing tricks or performing.
Jokers who are juggling.
Standing jokers

The next joker is in the tradition of the Piatnik jokers.

Another taxonomy conundrum. Does this fashionable well dressed monkey with his jester on a stick, belong in the animal section or this joker heads and busts section?

September 2018 update.  I have reorganized this section into three distinct sections.
1.  Jokers on a stick.
2.  Jokers with just a head. No hands.
3. Jokers with more than a head, at least some hands, but not a full body.  This section starts with the ones just hands and works towards jokers with more of a body.
Here's a video which displays this new organization:



 The joker jesters head shots and bust section starts with a subsection that I think of as jokers on a stick.  Have any of the rest of you organized this way?

I have a total of 13 (so far) jokers on a stick.

I'm now going to add a few more - 10-8-2017.  These two mug shots of jesters are from the Emotion Deck from Bicycle.

The Emotion deck box cover. The Emotion cards have black faces. The typically red suits are still red, the black suits are gray. Most cards have a standard design but the face cards show an unusual amount of .... emotion!

 The Emotion deck was one of 6 collectible decks that I purchased yesterday at Walgreens. Here's the six: Emotion, Aurora, US Presidents, Fire, Dragon Back, and Black Tire.  Readers will notice that I'm now starting to do more curating of information about the source of each joker.

For clarity, Jokers who are simply a head or head and torso are not:
Jokers who are dancing
Jokers doing tricks or performing.
Jokers who are juggling.
Standing jokers

And here, for your amazement and entertainment, is a video of this section of the joker collection.
