Kinko -aka- Mr. Pennygraff

Kinko the Clown was born in the rural South. He has picked tobacco, operated a back-hoe, ridden the rails, walked the U.S., and is wanted in numerous states for mostly misdemeanors. He now hides his past behind a silent frown. He used to reside in a lovely park in NYC, but was brutally removed from his home only a few years ago. He has never held a job for more than a week. He juggles. And he can be dangerous.

Keith Nelson (a/k/a Mr. Pennygaff): In his youth he was given an Emmet Kelly ventriloquist doll. The silent clown/talking doll relationship forever confused the growing boy. A few years later a secret of showbiz was revealed to him at a small Mexican Circus, where for only 25 cents one could witness the "Elephant Dog." The quarter brought him face to face with a shaved mutt. Years passed as he learned to juggle and play with fire. Following a $100,000 liberal arts education, he was left unemployed in New York City, and once again was reminded of just what a quarter could buy.
