Quotes

Bart: Now I'll never get my hands on that---

Comic Book Guy: Wait, rapscallion! If you bring me the definitive glossary of comic book sound effects so I can provide scholarly footnotes in my letters to numerous editors, I will trade you for it.

Bart: Deal!

Bart: [thinking] That's a cinch. I've read enough comics I can make one, myself.

Comic Book Guy: And if it doesn't include the best sound effect ever, "Kracka-Thoom!", it's not definitive!

Bart: Wham, ka-blam, pow, whump, krack, crash, and slurp. Is that it? If I don't find more sound effects I won't be able to trade for that "Radioactive Man"!

Lisa: What's all the hubbub, bub?

Bart: I'm making a glossary of comic book sound effects.

Bart: Eat my shorts. But just to make sure, a glossary is like a dictionary, right?

Lisa: Researching old comics is a good start, but it's limiting.
