Lance and Eskimo Comix

Lance and Eskimo
	Eskimo Jones Eskimo’s young life has held an almost ludicrous number of adventures, including, but not limited to, her stint as a pirate captain and a lion tamer (which earned her a charming set of disfiguring facial scars). She dresses like an antiquated gentleman and acts without thinking.
	Lance Redcloud Lance fulfilled the worst daydreams of his teachers at the Anachronistic School for Boys: immediately after leaving campus he signed on with a pirate crew. His disastrous love affair was instrumental in disbanding the crew, but he continues to follow his captain.
Love Interests
	Carole Pickering A Linguistics Ph.D. student who once taught Lance to be a proper gentleman as part of an elaborate bet. She did the impossible and managed to cross storyline boundaries in order to continue dating Lance.
	Caryn Cararas The sister of Lance and Eskimo’s landlord, a former CPA with glam-rock aspirations. Eskimo adores her.
Housemates
	Jeria Cararas An actress known (to Lance) for her titular role in the action blockbuster “Theology Girl.” Lance and Eskimo currently live in her basement. It is unclear whether or not they are supposed to be paying rent, but I don’t think that they possibly can be doing so.
	Robbie Cararas Jeria’s daughter. Lance and Eskimo frequently babysit her. Well, Lance frequently babysits her. Like all good captains, Eskimo is weirded out by children.
	Rory Rents the tiny attic apartment that Lance and Eskimo couldn’t afford. An authority on Pokemon, and one of the world’s tactical geniuses.
Mandrake & Co.
	Mandrake An impossibly wealthy, four-foot-tall bipedal raccoon. Refined, amused.
	Krys Katona Mandrake’s bodyguard. Formerly the hired muscle on Eskimo’s pirate crew. Sarcastic, insecure.
	Philharmonic Mandrake’s secretary. Sweet, cheery.
