94/100 Chance * * Chance is currently in the midst of year-long project which requires him to be in character at all times. His commitment is impressive. Or, according to his family, totally insane and why is he doing this again? His character — Kill Me Now Kenny — is a sad, silent, strung-out clown with chronic insomnia. His days are spent on park benches and city busses, in bars and cafes, libraries and laundromats, department stores and the dog park. He sits quietly and stares off into the distance or the ground. People often approach him. Some are concerned, others are confused, amused, scared, or curious. Passersby often leave him cups of coffee or flowers. Or pat his hand or knee and say some kind words. And there are always a few who get angry. He records all these interactions and reactions. This project thrills him. Behind Kenny’s dead eyes, Chance is in there, feeling totally and completely alive. #100daysofcartoonheadshots #madeupbiographies #pamtoons #the100dayproject #thankyoulyndabarry #cartoon #writing * (Inspired by Lynda Barry and her (totally freaking amazing) Writing the Unthinkable workshop at the Omega Institute.)
