Zemke and the Crew

Client requests comics

Zemke and the Crew strips about client requests.

Three-panel comic. Panel 1, 8:00 am at apartment 6.02: Gail the giraffe and Sam the platypus stand beside an access-plan board (runners down, dust sheets up, 9 AM – 2 PM) while Kev the koala carries a toolbox. Gail says 'Runners down, dust sheets up. Done by two.' Sam says 'Your floors won't even know we're here.' Panel 2, 8:04 am: the apartment door opens a crack and the resident says 'No walking through. No ropes. Can't they just pop up?' Gail, hands on her head, replies 'Pop up… to the sixth floor?' while Sam facepalms. Panel 3, 8:20 am on the footpath six floors down: a green Telegram pill reads 'Crew checked in 8:58 am'. Zemke the emu holds up a Plan B card ('A · flap harder' crossed out, 'B · Santa's sleigh'), Monty the monkey studies a map, and Kev shrugs: 'We're good tradies, mate. Not paratroopers.'

Sixth-Floor Balcony Access

Three-panel comic. Panel 1, 6:55 am on Level 2 of a medical suites building: Sam the platypus runs a toolbox talk beside an A-frame board (earmuffs on, dust vac on, drilling 7:00 to 7:45) and says 'Earmuffs on, vacs on. Drilling done by 7:45.' Kev the koala, holding a hammer drill, says 'Patients at eight. We'll be long gone.' Panel 2, 7:05 am: the Suite 2.04 door opens a crack and the suite manager asks 'Can you drill without the hammering? Just spinning?' Kev, confused, repeats 'Without the… hammering bit?' while Monty the monkey shrugs. Panel 3, 7:33 am: a green Telegram pill reads 'Crew checked in 6:58 am'. Monty holds up a pink feather duster and says 'Relax, Kev. I brought the quiet option.' Sam says 'Rotary-only? That's Christmas. Twelve noisy minutes left!'
