The adventures of Lex and Kenny, Club floor hosts extraordinaire. They are childhood best friends who grew up together, went to the same school, dated the same group of girls, shared the same hopes and dreams. They are Òcloset geeksÓ who collect comic books, watch sci-fi movies, play video games, and tabletop play role-playing, but it keeps all a secret to maintain their industry tough-guy facade. They donÕt care about sports, partying, or socializing with any industry people outside of work. When Lex and Ken arenÕt bitching about their jobs at the strip club, they find themselves debating comic books, classic 80s action movies, and MMO lore. As Lex and Ken Ògrow old togetherÓ working in the strip club, they have become more anti-social, more cynical, and have developed a more sarcastic view on just about everything: money, career, women, sports, politics, religion, and family. Meanwhile, as they both struggle to try their so hard not to become like their respective fathers, both their lives have become Òrunaway freight trains,Ó heading toward their inevitable destinies. ÒThis would be a great job if it wasnÕt for the dancers and the customersÉÓ Lex is the intellectual one of the pair, highly intelligent, philosophical, deep over thinker, who over analyzes anyone and everything. Very much a part-time intellectual elitist, finding himself arguing about ÒWho shot first, Han or Greedo?Ó ÒWho was the best Doctor?Ó and other obscure geek lore. When Lex is at work, he dreams of anywhere else besides work. ÒNever his mind on where he was and what he was doingÉÓ Maybe that is what has kept him sane all these years. ÒThis would be a great job if it wasnÕt for the dancers, the customers, and the managementÉÓ Ken, a former ex-jock whose sports career ended way too early, his first year of college. He often reminisces about the glory day as a high school and college football player, and the one Òcareer-ending injuryÓ that shattered his dreams forever. Over the years, Ken has become bitter with the opposite sex, after a failed series of relationships with a woman who has deemed Òalcoholic, nymphomaniac, pill poppers, with daddy issues.Ó Ken now finds serenity in playing video games, collecting comics, and being a guild officer in an MMO.Standard Comic
