Large Mammal Problem #30

Blossom and Sasha are sneaking up to a large construction site. Blossom: "We have to get inside that giant building site to do pranks... Luckily I have a plan." She reaches into her backpack and in the next panel we see a hard-hatted "builder" (in fact a beaver standing on a bear's shoulders and dressed in PPE) approach the guarded site entrance. Guard: "Stop! Are you authorised?" Sasha: "Yup. We're – I'm... here to do some... hammering. Kev sent us" Blossom (correcting): "Me". The guard has let them in but is wondering whether something's fishy. Sasha: "Thanks mate." Once inside they strip off their disguise and look at the huge scaffolded structure. Blossom: "What're they building?" Sasha: "So high". Now they're peering down a mine-like hole. Blossom: "So deep". Now the guard is collaring them. Guard: "Gotcha. Vermin. You're coming with me."
