I hope Jarvis is well paid with a hefty pension

Rats! I predicted he’d get out using a chain saw.

Poor Jarvis.

“You load 16 tons, what do you get?

Another day older and deeper in debt.

St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go.

I owe my soul to the company store"

Jarvis in the second panel looks so relieved only to be hit with reality in the third.

Looks like no Sedgwick for Halloween.

A helicopter is several thousand rotating components trying desperately to shake themselves free of one another.

That Sedgewick, always thinking of others

“Oh, and I’ll have to dock your pay as you are not out here catering to my every whim…”

permission to destroy the hedge maze? Finally one of those intangible job benefits

Let me know when he gets to the minotaur. Another one bites the dust. :)

Good thing Jarvis is a practical man.

Nearly. So much meaning in one word.

It’s the 21st century and the hedge trimmer is electric. Just a few years ago it’d be gas.

Hmm, with the helicopter above, wouldn’t they be able to direct him to the exit? Either that or use the old trick and take every right turn (or every left turn – either way works). Takes some time, but it should get you to the exit.

Wow. In just six panels, Little Master drives Jarvis from hope to despair (even with a battery-powered hedge-trimmer). Will this make clear to Jarvis how much his service is appreciated?

’should" but can still die in there

Oh Master, would you please come here…..
