Krakow!

I think it is notable that the onomatopoeia "Krakow" is used, especially with that spelling. While there is no direct mention of Poland (except for other days...), the linking with the Calvin & Hobbes strip makes it more plausible. The coincidence of TBC using that particular spelling for an explosion is too great to not be reference to something. wbwolf (t | ed) 20:10, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Naw, it's just an onomatopoeia. The fact that "Krakow" is the capital of Poland in no way makes its appearance in this toon any more meaningful or funny. --Jay o'Lantern (Haunt) 20:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
But i'd call the calvin reference plausible... — Defender1031*Talk 20:23, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Not that one either. Calvin uses it as gunfire. TGS15 uses it as a thunderclap. --Jay o'Lantern (Haunt) 20:28, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
I don't know of specifics, but I'm reasonably certain I've heard "KRAKOW" as a thunder sound effect before this instance. Or something close, anyways. At the very least, it brings Kracko to mind. --DorianGray 20:35, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
