Zemke and the Crew

Wet concrete comics

Zemke and the Crew strips about wet concrete.

Three-panel comic on a suburban footpath. Panel 1, 11:00 am: Kev the koala floats a fresh concrete slab behind bollards, hazard tape and a WET CONCRETE · DO NOT TOUCH sign and says 'Fresh footpath slab, tape's up. Twenty minutes and she's perfect.' Panel 2, 11:02 am: a passer-by's finger reaches in from off-panel and pokes the slab, leaving a fingerprint: 'Excuse me... is this wet?' Kev: 'Yep. Thanks for checking!' Panel 3, 11:03 am: Zemke the emu holds a new sign reading 'YES, IT'S WET (WE TESTED IT FOR YOU)' and says 'New sign, Kev. We tested it for you.' Sam the platypus: 'Fair. Re-float approved.' A green Telegram pill reads 'Telegram · Slab crew checked in 6:45 AM'.

Three-panel comic in a basement car park. Panel 1, 9:35 am: Kev the koala in a hard hat and hi-vis holds a STOP/SLOW bat at the bottom of a ramp signed 'B1 UP'. The right lane is wet concrete behind cones and a 'WET · CURING' sign; a teal SUV waits. Kev says 'Right lane's curing. One lane, one way. Ninety seconds, tops.' Panel 2, 9:36 am: the SUV's reversing lights glow with a 'BEEP · BEEP' callout; the driver asks 'If I reverse up it, that's the right way, yeah?' Panel 3, 9:36 am: Monty the monkey holds a 'ROAD RULES' handbook upside down and says 'In my defence, the handbook doesn't say no.' Zemke the emu says 'Reverse up a wet ramp? I can't even walk backwards.' Kev has flipped the bat to SLOW. A green Telegram pill reads 'Telegram · Ramp crew checked in 6:30 AM'.
