"THBPBPTHPT!"
by: Bill Watterson

Very impressive attempts at tackling the spelling can be found in the forever brilliant Calvin & Hobbes. Mr. Watterson strives to capture the complexity and nuance of a properly executed raspberry.

"POO"

One of my favorite cartooning displays of the raspberry sound is featured on the classic "Whoopee Cushion" art. The artist has completely given up on trying to spell it - opting instead for the borderline-insane "Poo."

All I know is, there's nothing better than that dog being blown out of frame.

"BLAH!"
by: Charles Schulz

Years later Mr. Schulz appears to have avoided tangling with the dreaded raspberry, by going with "Blah!"

My wife says this isn't even an attempt at a raspberry, and shouldn't be included here. (No sex for her tonight!)

"BLEAH!"
by: Charles Schulz

Then I found this one that splits the difference. He's saying "Bleah!" but that tongue is definitely waggling more than a "bleah" calls for. Official ruling: partial raspberry. (Partial sex tonight!)

"THBBPTHBPT!"
by: Bill Watterson

Raspberry worlds collide in Calvin & Hobbes, where we find Calvin's uncle sitting ON a whoopee cushion.

Just as I suspected, it doesn't say "poo" at all. So while this panel may have the superior raspberry spelling, it does NOT have that funny-ass dog. Christ, I love that little guy.

"PRRFFZZZ"
by: Walter Moers

Here is the cover of a "Kleines Arschloch" book by Walter Moers. Kleines Arschloch is a household name in Germany and other German speaking countries in Europe. "Kleines Arschloch" means "little asshole" in German.

This is also the first use of "Zs" in the Raspberry Museum.
