The Circus

LOLLIGE!

I think you could avoid jagged lines that need AA on the sprites, for example the gentleman with the top hat. The tent too has jagged lines, just like the carriage.
The clowns, on the other hand, work well because they don't have AA (which makes outlines a bit fuzzy).

So to boil it down, I would suggest you avoid jagged lines at all cost for this style.
I'm looking forward to more!
