"These frenetic epiphanies are usually accompanied by Martin's endlessly inventive sounds--'Durp,' 'Faglork,' 'Kloonk,' 'Thwop,' 'Skroinch,' 'Glong,' 'Ook Ook' and many others. (In the final panel, the frazzled and wide-eyed character often looks directly out from the page, as if asking the reader to share in his bewilderment and discomfiture.) Martin's colleagues and admirers revere his onomatopoeic diction almost as much as they do his drawings of slack-jawed urban yokels."
