Kevin's tour de force graphic novel Far Arden is hitting stores this month, and in honor of its unique* mix of cartoonishness and high adventure, I've compiled this list of the sound effects that grace its pages. Such a compendium of universally descriptive emanata has never before been seen because Kevin has a rare condition that we in the comic book business call onomatopoeia-deafness.
So here, for your pleasure, are the 271 sound effects in Far Arden. Be advised, if you read it very, very closely, there may be some spoilers.

Excellent testimonial to those anti-sound sound effects. (And a heck of a research job.)
So, this is what you did with your weekend?
HA HA HA!! That list is enormous! I thought it would never end. I stopped reading and just began scrolling...it reminded me of another Scott McCloud thing. "The Infinite Canvas."
Dan-- it's what I did with a weekend about 3 months ago, yes.
Awesome!
What about "RCAN ATTACK!" on p. 94? Can we get a ruling on that one?
Fair enough. In it goes.
Thanks for sharing about the sound effect have a look at
