Ninja: "Ngg! You play Scrabble with no honour!"

Fun Facts

• First full-color BnS comic.

• Ninjas are, in fact, excellent Scrabble players.

• The Green Ninja can not be seen in the last panel because he is getting the pretzels (at least that's what James wants us to think. Another popular theory states that the green ninja was actually yelling at an intern about the consistency of his coffee at that time).

• Ninjas drink coffee, not tea.
