Sounds In Comics



Funny, the spelling of sounds in comics:
SHINGGG and SHLLLLT, says a sword
as it exits its sheath,
SHUNKK as it enters a belly.

A rapid-fire gun goes BRRAAAATTT,
KREEK, says an opening door,
one kicked in goes KRATCH,
a pokies' win rings, DING DING DING DING DING DING

and a breaking windscreen goes KRSSHH.
Many sounds have no vowels.
A sleeping two-headed dog goes RRRGGF - RRRGGF.
You have a go at spelling its howls.
