   I think I blew out a vocal chord attempting to pronounce that sound effect.

     It’s actually pretty easy; pretty sure it’s just a fistasplode sound effect. So fistasplode!

     I got it!
     Consider the noise made when hocking up a loogie. This SFX goes S – third quarter – P – vocalized first quarter.

   Is there a punchline?
   Because, yeah, Dinobot winning is awesome and all… but if there’s a punchline within the comic I’m afraid it flew over my head…

   The art’s kind of different somehow, it’s neat, I like it.

     By ‘like it” I mean “totally want Ethan and Robin to make out”.

   This storyline coulda been epic, but it ended with a big whimper. Missed opportunity there.

     What makes you think it’s over? There’s still an election, after all.

     COULDA been epic? Did you miss the extra-long Robin v. Axis of Something/Palin manga battle? David had already mentioned that he was originally going to end that story with Robin throwing the banner at Ethan but then the adventure & fight stuff just happened. I think this is an originally unplanned strip that he HAD to do after likely being a big part in Dinobot’s victory.

     I personally laughed pretty hard at it.

       Yeah, that storyline ended where it was going to end. I never had any further plans since, you know, Soundwave was guaranteed to win. And it’s not like I’m going to drop my current storyline, which I am in the middle of, to pursue something I’d be writing out of my ass.

       Though Robin’s election storyline isn’t over…

    Man, I spent way too much time and mental energy trying to decipher that punchline.

    Robin does look a bit different in panel 2. In other words, cutest ever.
