J. P." Patches was a clown and the main character on The J. P. Patches Show, an Emmy Award-winning local children's television show on Seattle station KIRO-TV, produced from 1958 to 1981. This bronze statue honoring Western Washington icons J. P. Patches and his faithful sidekick Gertrude -- Bob Newman.
The statue is called Late for the Interurban by sculptor Kevin Pettelle and is approximately 250 feet (76 m) east of Waiting for the Interurban. This statue depicts two six-foot figures of J.P. Patches and Gertrude, arms intertwined but running in opposite directions. The J.P. statue sported an added bonus: small bronze hooks on J.P.’s famous wacky button-covered jacket, so passers-by could also hang buttons of their choice on the jacket. The ICU2-TV set was placed a short distance behind the statue, with a small collection can (for donations to Children’s) and a sculpture of Esmerelda the ragdoll tucked discreetly behind the set. The statue is located on the south side of North 34th Street in Fremont, about 250 feet east of another well-known Fremont sculpture, Richard Beyer’s (1925-2012) Waiting for the Interurban.
