The Specialist

An amusingly drawn cartoon about a highly proficient lady bricklayer, graduate of Specialists’ School, whose work takes her high up in the world, and her erstwhile friend, whose equally dedicated professionalism brings him lower. She builds towers of bricks while he tunnels down below ground. What develops in the story involves other unlikely characters, plausible enough in this cartoon context.
