Wrinkles, however, attempts to both elaborate on this sociological phenomenon and seize an opportunity to create more of a mystery. The fact that they have the happy and the potential for murderous violence is what makes them a particularly compelling storytelling character to mine. But once Wrinkles let us know that was not a possibility then we got excited by the idea of using the power of anonymity to create mystique and how that's a relatively rare thing in today's culture where things don't stay mysterious for long. The clown, known as Wrinkles, told a story of how he was a clown willing to be hired by parents disgruntled at their naughty children. She was a little creeped out by Wrinkles in the costume, but he took the costume off and hung out with her and she was like, "Okay, you're not gonna actually kill me."
