Robert "Chance" Browne (born 17 June 1948) is an American comic strip artist and cartoonist, painter, and musician. He was born in New York City.
After his father Dik Browne died in 1989, Browne took over drawing the family comic strip Hi and Lois. The comic is syndicated throughout the United States and stars the characters Hi, Lois, Dot, Ditto, Chip, and Trixie. Hi and Lois is a part of King Features, as is the other Browne family comic strip Hägar the Horrible (done by Chance's brother Chris).
Chance Browne also plays guitar and sings in his band The Twinkies, a group that was formed in 1973. He has attended both Park College in Missouri and the School of Visual Arts in New York City. While he makes a living as a cartoonist, he has a true passion for painting, which he does in his spare time. Browne lives in Connecticut with his wife and three daughters.
Famous quotes containing the words chance and/or browne:
“Those who wander in the world avowedly and purposely in pursuit of happiness, who view every scene of present joy with an eye to what may succeed, certainly are more liable to disappointment, misfortune and unhappiness, than those who give up their fate to chance and take the goods and evils of fortune as they come, without making happiness their study, or misery their foresight.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“Underneath this sable hearse
Lies the subject of all verse:
Sidney’s sister, Pembroke’s mother;
Death ere thou has slain another,
Fair, and learned, and good as she,
Time shall throw a dart at thee.”
—William Browne (1591–1643)
