Kenny McCormick's Orange Parka Origin

South Park co-creator Trey Parker based Kenny McCormick on a childhood friend named Kenny, the poorest kid in his neighborhood. The boy wore an orange parka that muffled his voice and frequently skipped school, prompting Parker and his friends to joke that he had died. He would return several days later, inspiring the character's repeated deaths and unexplained reappearances.
