In the panel they showed (and in the splash page) one of the characters shows his discomfort by saying OW-W. In another post I have mentioned that Martin O'Hearne has pioneered the use of recurring phrases and exclamations to identify writers. One he did very well was the writer Hank Chapman, who wrote some magnificent war stories for Stan Lee in the early fifties. One of his trademarks is the use of OW-W, a very singular exclamation indeed. O'Hearne mentions it here (with an example): http://martinohearn.blogspot.nl/2012/06/short-lived-series-from-writer-hank.html.
