Meet Denny Keen!

Hello Everyone!

This is the first of 6 characters that I have designed for my newspaper comic strip. My inspiration for him drew from things that I have struggled with off and on throughout my life. So let me introduce him to you all!

His name is Denny Keen, the name itself is a play on words. Keen, or at least the word is defined as something having a sharp or strong quality to it. Here is a description of his character.

Like some of us, he is afraid or anxious about what others think or say about him. Denny is always afraid of talking to anyone about his problems in fear that they will not truly understand what he is going through, so he tends to come up with unique ways of solving his problems. Sometimes his solutions backfire, like they do for some of us, and he digs himself a deeper hole than what he was in before.

If he walks into a crowded room, he thinks they are talking about him even though they aren't. Denny worries about the small things, like what the next day has in store for him, or how much schoolwork he is going to get.

He is always afraid about disappointing those that he is close to. Denny also keeps his friends at arms length due to the fact that he is always nervous and anxious about them betraying his trust. Denny Keen though is a good kid with a good heart and is always nice to everyone even when they are mean to him.

Now that you have met him, in the next few days, I will introduce you to his group of friends.
