Good joke except that most Scrabble players know you’re not allowed to use proper nouns in the game. Still a nice setup, and excellent conclusion. I actually LOL’d. My co-workers looked at me like I was crazy…Oh wait, that’s how they always look at me.

Maybe they should demand to trade the two journalists for Pat Sajak and Vanna White so they can buy some vowels. :-)

That’s what the blank tiles are for. They’re wild cards.

I liked the scrawl in panel 3, too. But maybe that’s just the New Yorker in me.

Would the leadership of Zzhksa know of the proper noun rule in Scrabble? I think not - which makes the request even more silly!

Is Zzhksa a proper noun or an improper country? Discuss.

I have to ask, what picture have you been using for the view of the lovely, yet tiny, nation of Zzhksa?

Hasbro does not bargain with terrorists? But they’re only toy terrorists. Does that mean they shoot the hostages with cap pistols?

Vancouver: It’s actually an aerial photo of a mountain village in Vietnam.
SaturnTV: The original, full length version (cut off by the small panel) was “Hasbro: We have not, and will not, bargain wth terrorists.”
For each panel I did a full-size “screen grab” version and just tried to center it so the better gags were understandable.
