Day 246: Snap crackle pop

It’s Writing Day!

Writing Prompt: Have some fun with onomatopoeia.

Onomatopoeia are words that sound like the thing they describe. How many can you think of? Can you turn them into a story — or better yet, a comic?

Looking up that link also caused me to stumble across a very fun Wikipedia page: a list of animal sounds and the words we use to describe them.
