I have a buddy in Switzerland I play Scrabble with. He tends to win 3 out of 4 games, but I keep on trying.
Since I draw and paint as much as I play I’ve used Scrabble in a lot of cartoons. This one came about when my he emailed me a score he’d just made on a single play. (Fortunately, this was not one of our games).
He played 7 letters along the edge of the board, to complete the word: “WALTZING”, scoring the 50-point bonus for playing all 7 letters and re-tripling the face value of his letters (including the 10 for Z) by landing on BOTH Triple-word score places.
So I commemorated the occasion for him with a sort of trophy-cartoon of his opponent: Buried, in a single play.
This, by the way is a shot from The Pixie Pit where we play.
