Why yes, I do like ridiculous sound effects. Don Martin was a huge influence when I was very young.
Doing anything under the influence of Don Martin is dangerous. ::FWONG::
This just isn’t Emily’s day, is it? Not that it’s been her day for a good while now. SPLAP is the sound a still intact living body makes hitting a hard flat surface. SPLAT is the sound made from hitting a flat hard surface when traveling too fast and the body is now somewhat unrecognisable and definitely no longer living. Try to avoid such surfaces in the future, Emily.
Dang, I haven’t seen a copy of Mad magazine in I bet thirty years. Loved it as a lad. Martin’s work was gold back in the day.
MAD is all but dead now. They’ve cut back to doing an annual issue of new content and reprinting lots of their old stuff.
Somehow I don’t see the Heims taking this lightly. Those idiot Durns may have started a full blown war doing that.
Why one always should wear a helmet while jet packing.
I, too, suffer from Demeaning Plebney…
Nothing’s ever going to top the sound of a supermarket collapsing because the wrong can was taken from a pyramid display by a disgruntled customer.
FAGROOOON! Klubble, Klubble, Klubble…
I remember that one!
I was gifted a treasured two-volume complete Don Martin collection a while back.
Poor Emily. Out of one scrape and into a SPLAP. There ain’t no justice.
Oh, and War Pig: It’s been said that if a tree fell in the forest and there was no one around to hear it, Don Martin could still do the sound effect. KKKKKKKRRRSSSHSHHHSSHSHHHHHHHH!
Haha! I bet he could. Just like the writers for the old Batman TV show. “Biff! Pow! Sock! Kapow!
Had Martin been writing those, the Dynamic Duo (said label uttered in the pompous, plummy tones of Neil Hamilton as Commissioner Gordon) would have KO’d the theme-named henchfolk to the tune of “GRUNCH! FLABBADAP! GEEN! SKWAZZZZATCH!”
In the next episode…the slow squeak down the wall.
Wow, there are a lot more graduates from the Fonebone University out there than I would have thought!
Dawk! Duh, you know it, Mr. Bestertester!
