Panel 1- KEVIN SMITH is sitting in his comic shop, a Green Arrow poster and a Daredevil poster on the wall behind him, reading a trade paperback of Batman: The Widening Gyre, smiling as he turns the page.
WORD BALLOON (from behind Kevin's chair): Flip.
Panel 2- Same as Panel 1, but KEVIN looks straight at us, a confused look on his face. ONOMATOPOEIA has risen up behind him unseen.
KEVIN: "Flip"?
ONOMATOPOEIA: Whud.
KEVIN: "Whud"?
Panel 3- ONOMATOPOEIA is pummeling the crap out of KEVIN, who is off panel on the floor.
SoundFX: WHUD!WHUD!WHUD!WHUD!WHUD!
Panel 4- Outside Jay and Bob's Secret Stash, ONOMATOPOEIA walks across the street, writing in a pocket notebook. An inset panel shows crossed off item 1 on his to-do list, "Smith, Batman Gyre".Item 2 reads "Liefeld, Nu52 Hawkman".
ONOMATOPOEIA: Skritch.
Excellent use of Onomatopoeia / lambasting of Kevin Smith for the Widening Gyre. I've always enjoyed the character, with his pseudo-fourth wall breaking elements, and you make great use of him here, with some solid onomatopoetic choices for a couple of enjoyable laughs.
ReplyDeleteAs a primary teacher, I loved teaching the students the word onomatopoeia. Love the rising of the onomatopoeia!
