Zemke and the Crew
The Last Lamington
The smoko mystery every crew has
The problem in this strip
Who ate the last lamington? Every crew has a smoko bandit, and nobody ever owns up.
Meet the crew: Monty the monkey retired but never quite left, and he knows exactly where the smoko plate is.

Panel by panel
Panel 1: 10:00 am, smoko
Gail the giraffe stands next to a table with an empty plate.
Gail: Right. Who ate the last lamington?
Panel 2: The line-up
Kev the koala, Sam the platypus and Bec the kangaroo stand in a row.
Kev: Not me.
Sam: Fair question. Not me.
Bec: I have receipts.
Panel 3: Follow the crumbs
A trail of crumbs leads from the empty plate to Monty the monkey, who has a lamington in his tray.
Monty: In my defence, I'm still on the clock. Smoko's in my contract.
Gail (off-panel): You retired!
