And I'm just going to throw it to you, Crispy.

How do you use sound effects in your own work? And what have you seen around that you really like?

So I, like many people, have grown up reading manga.

And the sound effects that they use are absolutely gorgeous.

And they're integrated in the page so beautifully.

And it really adds to the page beautifully.

so that was something that always stuck in my brain when you know incorporating that stuff and to also kind of make sure that it existed in our comics too because i think everybody obviously is going to have a personal preference and a lot of times when i talk about this In spaces with other comic creators, there's kind of a divide with people who are just like, yeah, like sound effects.

And then some people are like, oh, I hate them.

I hate them when they're in comics.

And I always like, I always want to just unpack it.

I'm like, what? What is the hate? Like, why? Why do you feel hate? this way so strongly towards them or why do you love them so much so i'm going to be speaking on the love them thing because i i love sound effects i think that they add to that because of how the comic is the mediums kind of require certain things to give you cues as to what's happening and things that are happening don't necessarily need them.

You can subverse it.

It's cool.

Sound effects can add to the work.

So I use, obviously, Ghost Train Sickness and Litter Blade are both kind of more action focused.

So, you know, automatically I'm like, heck yes, put in those sound effects kind of characters or, you know, artistic little doobles that kind of enhance the scene.

So sound effects in general are going to be They can be a couple letters.

They can be onomatopoeia.

They could be a lot of things.

And growing up on manga, like a lot of them come from like just having those characters on pages that, you know, are also describing the sound.

But of course, as an English reader, seeing that you're like, Oh my God, like, it's just like a cool drawing that's enhancing the other drawing.

So I think seeing that is, And then seeing it with English when people are like kablam or whatever.

I think

that's where the divide comes from a lot.

Yes.
