- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Oh. Great. 5 vowels in a row. The language needed that.
Blame the French.
qouioui
Sacre bleu!
sir digby chicken ceaser salad!
Slovak has the word for ice cream which is zmzrlina with 5 consonants in a row
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.
Tsk tsk, Hobbes.
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.
or
Blb vlk pln žbrnd zdrhl hrd z mlh Brd skrz vrch Smrk v čtvrť srn Krč.
The most commonly known one is
Strč prst skrz krk.
Cool. Still no 6 letter word with only conconants.
Čtvrtsmršť, scvrnkls, čtvrthrst, cmrndls, zmrzls... take your pick.
there's always an xkcd
Queueing, even.
I can add Wrzeszcz for perspective. It may not be in a row, but no 8 letter word should have 3 zs
Zmrzlina would like to have a word with you, only 2 Zs but 5 consonants in a row
Basically the opposite of Polish
