That’s what I love about it, too 
That would be…
Banff, Alberta
(Calgary being a near by-ish large city, whereas Alberta is the actual province wherein lovely Banff is located.)
Thank you very much…
Is that near to where the legendary anti- flatulence festival is held every summer? My wife keeps threatening to take us to the “Ban Farts Festival”. What kind of a town has a festival like that?
… famous for being the city where Jesus was crucified. And also for being the city where soldiers first got on horses to create a mounted armed group, very effective in warfare and useful in movies and TV shows about the Old West.
[sub]Yes, I know, it’s deliberate. I’d hate anyone else to be whooshed by my meagre punmanship.[/sub]
My Og, Dex you are sharp wit this early in the morning. Or is it late where you are?
Is it “snikt” because the claws are locking into position? It would be pretty embarrassing if Wolverine was slicing up a pineapple or something for a breakfast buffet and the claws slid back under his knuckles.
A Ban Farts Festival? Do they get protesters picketing them? I could see some of my relatives on the picket line as a joke. If I made the mistake of thinking about it, I could almost guess what was on the signs.

Don Martin would be proud.
Well yeah, it is silly. That’s kind of the point, tho’.
That said, I’m curious: who else is doing this? I was under the impression that I was the only one.
I like the idea of it being a “Ninja thing”. I think I’d like to get that put on a shirt: “It’s a Ninja thing.” 
Would it confuse people if I said it was originally a Darkwing Duck thing?

Yes it would. Don’t do that.
By the way, the sound of Spider-Man shooting his webbing is “thwip!” I don’t believe there are any other comics sound effects as well-standardized as these three.

Didn’t Starfire’s Starbolts used to always make a “Skreeeeeee” Sound? Or amI thinking of some other hero? I have been trying to think of other standardized effects and coming up blank.
Dave Sim in Cerebus. Anything appearing or disappearing made the sound effect: Poit!
Don Martin had wonderful sound effects, I think he first came up with “Poit!”

January, 1960.
Sam, I think I’m completely speechless.
The fact that you and I are about the same age, and that you remembered that off the top of your head, leaves me speechless. :eek:
…much like Don Martin’s characters… 
I wonder if these claws bear any relation to the vorpal blade, which went “snicker-snack!” Maybe, being much smaller, the vorpal claws go ‘snikt’?
Further proof (if such be needed) that the man was a comic genius.
And that some of his fans really need to stay on their OCD meds.
