We should all serve the Wankh.

@Sir Bob: if what the Internets tell us is true, we all do.
The disturbing part, though, is that for some of us, the Wankh does look like an anthropomorphic froggie.

I think I need a hand with this one. The lonesome toad doesn’t do it for me.

It’s OK, it’s pronounced “Vonkh”!

Kewl – it’s the ‘Dracula presenting you with a Boss Nass action figure’ fanfic we’ve always wanted!

The Guardian has instituted the Wankh Awards for books with the most unintentionally smuttiest titles:
When informed of the British slang meaning of Wankh, Jack Vance changed Wankh to Wannek throughout the book. (I will assume the “e” is silent).

Official anthem of the Wankh.

@Bibliomancer – You are misinformed, sir. I directed that the publisher change Wankh to Wank throughout the book. I can’t believe the editors missed that typo everywhere including the title on the cover.
And I also requested that they change it to Servants of the Jerkov in the UK.

@Tag Wizard – “deceased author in the comments” tag needed.

I’ve heard of washboard abs, but I think the artist got carried away.

He does look rather self-satisfied.

@Tat Wood—I think it’s the fish oil. It finally worked its magic. That’s one relieved amphibian on the throne.

Get back to the Patty Duke show Uncle Martin!!

@B. Chiclitz – Thanks for the link. I knew that was a familiar face.

On top of the hilarious title, I think the fact that the artist’s last name is “Van Dongen” really ought to be noted, again. *immature snickering*
Or would only North Americans see that?

@Anna T.: Jack Vance, Jack Tweiss, Jack Thri Timms, …

These Jack Vance books were some of my favorites growing up. I’d spend hours reading them. My mother would call out asking where I was, and I’d yell that I was “Up in my room, having a Wankh”.
In school I formed a club with a bunch of other boys who were also fans. We called ourselves the “Chronic Wankhers”.

I’m confused by how many ‘anon’ regulars we have or if each one is a one-off.

@Perry: That’s Frog, from Chrono Trigger. It’s always a ‘Good Morning, Crono!’ when there’s a Wankh to be had.

@Tat Wood: AFAIK it’s just me spamming the site.

@anon: copyright the name – you’ll make MILLIONS!
October 3rd, 2015 at 4:33 pm
@anon, Tat: but whom are you supposed to sue for copyright violation?
October 3rd, 2015 at 7:14 pm
@ Dead Stuff: anyone not using a name here but with a traceable URL – it’s like Maverick choosing not to brand cattle and claiming all unbranded cattle as his own.
So, in essence, all computer owners not so far known to have commented on GSS are in violation. Ker-chingggg!

Buford the Toad has been working out – that’s a fifteen-pack. And a Toad-Emperor being ferried around by a smirking Will Self wasn’t in the novel as far as I recall.

Came here just to see if anyone had made a “Why the long face?” joke yet… feeling a little let down, to be honest.
October 9th, 2015 at 11:31 pm
@rD: madam, we’ve saved you a seat. 😉

The fact that the pun is already there on the cover made it difficult to add anything, but here goes nothing….
The Wankh made a big deal out of a small part.

“Your credit is good here, Mr. Torrance.”
The servants were a race of sub-men descended from game-show hosts.
