− | Johnny | + | Johnny is the more passive of the duo, and often seems distant from the events unfolding around him. He occasionally finds himself compared to a dog, and often stays behind or at the sidelines with Conway's old [[Conway's dog|hound]]. Despite his assertion that Junebug is the artist – and that he is "only an entertainer" – Johnny appears to be highly creative and poetic. He spends much of his time thinking, daydreaming, composing music, and being distracted by the world around him. He enjoys teasing Junebug, often with her same tragic sense of black humor, and refers to her as "ma'am. |

There are a number of stops along the [[Echo River]] at which Johnny tries (often unsuccessfully) to record various sounds with his tape recorder. He calls Junebug "ma'am." | |
