Zemke and the Crew
Four Seasons Before Smoko
Working outdoors when the weather changes by the hour
The problem in this strip
Ever had sun, hail and sun again before smoko? Some mornings the weather changes faster than the job plan.
Meet the crew: Kev the koala keeps smiling through the hail, Zemke the emu runs for it, and Bec the kangaroo was right about the PPE all along.
What ZimQi really does
This one's just for fun.
ZimQi is now in early-access beta testing. Crew use Telegram.
