  • Biollante: probalby, but 59 percent is considered a "blow out" in political terms, some people are on shaky ground right now, there was evne a conservative pollset that worked for Bush warning people that if Republicans are against things like gay marriage in the near future, they would endure catastrophic losses, I don't know if it's this political cycle, but the paradigm shift already happened a while ago

  • Steveinthecity: I wonder why it's always readers that catch mistakes with art, powers, plots, continuity, uniforms, etc. and not the creators and editors?  I hope they're not secretly laughing at us. ;)

  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.
    May 21, 2012, 07:57:37 AM
  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)
    May 21, 2012, 07:23:13 AM
  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

  • Biollante: Joe Quesada was drawing Thor on some Disney promo, and he drew him flying with his hammer on his side, now I'm not a Thor junkie, but isn't that actualy inaccurate, doesn't he fly by being dragged by his hammer???

Onomatopoeia
« on: July 16, 2008, 07:13:53 AM »
One of my favorite forms of onomatopoeia has got to be SMERP!

"Smerp!" Is always drawn far more animatedly than a "smooch!". All instances I've seen involve a girl (the smerp-er), launching herself at an unsuspecting boy (the smerp-ee). I've always loved the accompanying poses and expressions, and, while I could only find a few examples, I hope to see other submissions if you're able to find them. Smerps are elusive! You never know where you'll find the next one! :-*

Great idea for a thread, Aya! Myself, I've always been fond of the special fighting effects from the old Batman TV series. THWAKK! POW! ZAP!

I'll have to see if I can find some Archie related ones...

Adam Koford ( www.adamkoford.com ) posted a list of sound effects from A to Z.

There are quite a few I've never heard of listed, but, I guess you don't usually see "Biff!", "Pow!" and "Splort!" in Archie comics.

Check out http://www.flickr.com/photos/apelad/2125743441/sizes/o/ for Adam's examples.

I recall an old Josie story from the very early '70s (I think) where a guy graps Melody and lays a SMERP on her.  I remember it because it was the first time I had ever run across that sound effect - and also because I envied the guy!!

It was a story set in the winter.  Melody gets cold and a guy tells her he knows how to warm her up.  That's where the SMERP comes in. They kiss for quite awhile in the coat closet, and then Melody says she is warm now, but her lips are chapped.
