    i’ll never stop being mystified by the fact that we have a 5 letter word that’s pronounced exactly the same as the first letter of the word

          Oh Slovenian has you beat here. We have 2 words with only consonants and 6 letters. That being vzbrst and sntntn. So yeah…

          Edit: I just remembered zmrzlina also used to be the word for ice cream here about 200 years ago. Similar to it we also then have zmrznjen (frozen) for 6 conconants in a row with basicaly the same root of the word.

              Oh yeah sadly not wirh many high scoring letters. We also have a bunch of other words with just consonants. Like čmrlj, smrt, vrt, prt… Probably many more I just cannot think of.

                Chrt pln skvrn vtrhl skrz trs chrp v čtvrť Krč.

        I think even “I said you might want to!” is too much. It smacks of a shoddy American sitcom where they say these non-jokes to cue the canned laughter. If they insist on having four panels, they could have a third panel with the two going through some security rigmarole, maybe stick in a few subtle visual jokes.

      shift 1,2,3 to 2,3,4 and have 1 as an establishing shot of the nsa hq to make the setup clearer. right now it’s like you see the punchline, then an extra panel, then go back to see what was the big deal and realize somewhere in the background it says nsa hq.
