SOUND EFFECT FIGHTERS!

The strength of one’s imagination impresses me much more than one’s physical strength. Having never been a fighter, but having been beat up, I came up with the idea of an alternative to altercations: a more creative battle wherein the punches, kicks, throttles, and other smack downs are implied through sound effect.

Boys like to make sound effects, that’s a worldwide truth right there. My friend Liam is no exception. He and I have done sound effect battle on a number of occasions, all of which ended peacefully, with giggles. Liam is a true champion, going through some pretty hardcore preventative cancer treatments at Sick Kids in Toronto. For a 10 year old, he’s battling it out like a man! Keep up the great attitude buddy, and keep fighting back!

I drew this cartoon for him recently, eternalizing our sound effect fights forevermore. Try it with your friends!
