------------ ive always remembered is as  Ding, Dong, Ding
                               or  maybe Ding  Ding  Dong

but recently i've seen  Ding-dang-dong, ding-dang-dong.

                      What is most common ???

I suppose this comes under the heading of
onomatopoeia.

Recently remembered a gift of three old European
comic books from the 60s.

The pertinent one here is a Felix the Cat comic,
"Felix mit Bessy". Hard to tell the publication
date, I think it's 1960. There's a picture of
issue "Band 303" here

upper left "Felix geht baden"

ANYWAY, the sound effects are great. Felix gets
thrown, the sound effect is "blob". A plane
crashes, the sound effect is "klatsch". A cannon
sound is "bumm". And so on.

Sound effects reflect the culture/language
perception. Wish I had more examples. The other
two comics is Dutch (?) "De VisPrins" (Fish
Prince) and printed in Sweden. No sound
effects :(

The other is an Italian reprint of an American
Superman comic "Nembo Kid". Any sound effects
are as they were printed in the American
edition.
