The latest page of Grrl Power has a pretty great example that I think might work ever better as the example image - see the final panel at http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2864. I'm not particularly active around here - It's been so long since I edited that I forgot my old login info and had to make a new account - so I wanted to put it up for discussion before making such a big change.
Edited by serial_pillarThe (only, as of right now) example in the Advertising section seems like a... not-example. It reads:
- It is common practice for closed captioning to caption sound effects as well. There is a Windex ad in which the mother cleans a window with Windex to let the sun shine in and wake up her kids. The kids rush out while the mother smirks — because it's Saturday. Her smirk is captioned as "(mother smirks)".
I'm new here and don't know what I'm doing. Could somebody who does add "Un-omatopoeia" to the "also known as" list?
Hide / Show RepliesRemoving creepy example here, since I'm not sure whether it should be deleted or not.
- American artist Smudge (just in case you were going to try to search for him) apparently thinks that the sound a (massive) penis makes when it's forced into a vagina is "FUCKIN-COCKA!"
- "GOES GOOD ON GRAHAM CRACKERS!!"
- "VARIOUS SQUISHY NOISES!"
- "IN THE ASS!"
- "FJORD!"
Hi, I'm looking for the picture or the page with the unsound effect "shiiiin" (the sound of silence) in the Mahou Sensei Negima! (Magister Negi Magi) - manga. Is there somebody how can help to find it (in which issue, year, ...) or who knows how to find ? I'm sound artist and want to work with unsound effects .... best -g-
see: The Mahou Sensei Negima! manga does this a lot. Of course, this is probably due to the translators being very faithful to the original; during a silent scene you'll see the giant "shiiiin" kana with tiny English "the sound of silence" written underneath.
Semi-example: Twilight's First Day uses "pronk" (here and in the next part). (But in the show proper, a pony - usually Pinkie Pie - pronking [jumping using all four legs] is accompanied by a 'boing' sound effect.)
