Who is Madam Barnum? Is it a self-invented persona (by Partridge) to impersonate evil forces, or is she someone we might actually know from ancient tales?
@sneeuwitje https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Taylor_Barnum is of course the source for the sirname. Maybe it was a woman that drove A.P. crazy enough to come up with "Madam Barnum"? Or women just fit a better bad-guy profile for him? ;-)
