CHARACTER 62 // THE AMERICAN SPECTACLE
Hank Starsworth
An enthusiastic entertainer, confident and expansive. The joke is his showmanship, never his weight.
Tradition or identity: American.
A large, round, comfortably overweight puppet with a generous smile; a red, white and blue varsity jacket with flag patches and stars over a plain T-shirt, jeans and bright trainers.
A comic showman built from one description, not a spokesperson for a nation, faith or people. National colours and symbols appear only where the founder specified them, drawn accurately and deliberately, never as shorthand for everyone who shares the identity.
Hank Starsworth is one of 144 characters in the DEFROST.WORLD cast.
