in a row
Queueing, even.

Could've been better without the fourth panel, I feel.

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.

Just two? Cute. Czech has entire sentences without consonants.
-
Oh well I forgot to say they are 6 letter words but sure give me an example of such a sentence.

Chrt pln skvrn vtrhl skrz trs chrp v čtvrť Krč.

I think if you just remove her speech balloon, it works:

It doesn't even have a vowel!
Tsk tsk, Hobbes.

You forgot aitch. That's my favorite.

Cool. Still no 6 letter word with only conconants.

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.

I'm curious why slovak and czech language developed to use mainly consonants.
-
Čtvrtsmršť, scvrnkls, čtvrthrst, cmrndls, zmrzls... take your pick.

It's because of R and L and to a lesser extent S. These are "syllabic consonants" (other languages have different ones, depends on pronunciation) which can take up the role vowels usually do because they can be stretched to an arbitrary length unlike other consonants.
Apparently English also has these, such as the M in rhythm or L in awful (the U is silent, so it falls on the L to form the syllable).
Honestly one of my life's greatest achievements in life was that I once used this to convince a Brazillian guy that Czech does actually make sense =D

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.

Well I did see the "NSA Headquarters" sign but I admit it'd be weird to have that on the wall in the office of the madam who might want to see things!
