Voop Voop Voop Voop Voop Zang! Crash! Zip! Splat!: In a new bowling alley, just set up near the top of the Washington Monument, a Morty Dog enthusiastically spins his arm before releasing a bowling ball (Voop, etc.). He lets the ball go with terrific force (Zang!), but it CRASHes through a wall, ZIPs through the air and lands (Splat!) in the "face" of a man who has no face. The man, oddly enough, is happy, in fact he says he is "bowled over with joy!" (Face-No-Face and the Dog (1986))

Vrooom: A malcontent cartoon character drives off in a Porsche. Before he leaves here are his demands to the cartoonist: "Listen, Willis-- I want to leave this story in booshwah style! For years, you have regarded me as only 'lines on paper'-- well, I'm just not that way ... Now I want you to give me a little class before I leave this story. And if I don't get it ... *heh-heh* ... maybe some of the readers would be interested in hearing stories about you-- like the one about the vodka and ... what's that you say? You've changed your mind? Well well well. Great! Now draw me a Porsche convertible with a full tank of gas and show me which way south is ... I'll go to Hollywood and act in some animations ... I can always find work as an extra in the Saturday morning cartoons. Ha-ha-ha-ha! So long you cheapo cartoonist! I'm headed for El Dorado! [Vrooom] (One Way Flight to Anywhere But Here (1977))

Vrrooooomm! Zip!: An alien spacecraft revs the engine and leaves 1692 Massachusetts. (Cranium Frenzy 2 (1982))
