[Stephen King's IT] Why doesn't Pennywise go after adults the way he goes after kids?

Pennywise's deal is that he strikes fear into the hearts of others before devouring them, as essentially fattening them up before he feasts. However, he doesn't seem to target adults like he does kids, which is odd, seeing as how, as many will agree, adults have just as many fears, worries, phobias, anxieties, and insecurities as any child, maybe more since they've lived longer and thus had more time to develop more things to be afraid of. The only time Pennywise has targeted grown ups is in taking on the grownup Losers Club, but that was more for revenge, and even then they had to personally seek him out. So what's with Pennywise and his diet being solely minors?

Kids' fears are primal, and easy to manifest. Killer clowns, werewolves, creatures lurking in the shadow.

What's Pennywise going to do to Bob from accounting? Manifest as a year-end self-evaluation? How does he become the looming dread that his career has peaked? What does the personification that his wife is banging the gardener look like?

Children feel *fear*; adults know that those fears aren't real. What adults feel is *despair*, and that doesn't taste as good.
