The adventures of Chicken Boy

The feisty downtown paper Garment & Citizen is bringing Chicken Boy back to L.A. For years a giant fiberglass Chicken Boy statue sat atop a restaurant of the same name at 4th and Broadway downtown. Artist Amy Inouye nabbed the 22-foot-high statue after the place closed in 1984, and now she and some friends will be doing a weekly comic in the Garment & Citizen to be called, naturally, Chicken Boy. The paper this week also has a story on the Teamsters trying to organize parking lot attendants downtown.
