page 78 – And Now, The Stupidest Sound in Comic History
Original note – Aug 26, 2008
“BOOMETH?” REALLY? I dunno. The past couple of pages kind of used up all the explosion words I could think of, so I was desperate to come up with some way to make this one different. Up until the moment right after I inked the page, randomly writing “BOOM” in fake King James English seemed pretty funny. Well, now we’re stuck with it, I guess.
My favorite onomatopoeia for a large explosion is “fwackoom!” Earliest webcomic usage of it I’m aware of is here: https://www.irregularwebcomic.net/435.html
OOOOooooh, that IS a good one.
