Edda's expression in the last panel in today's strip. Here's the past
week (for those who don't follow the strip):

But the article describes a "noogie" as being rubbed. I remember
those, but noogies were blows, not rubs, with the upraised knuckle or
with a class ring, administered to the head with or without the
headlock.
Yes, being old enough to have a class ring and giving out noogies
seems inconsistent, but I spent a few summers at Camp Lord O' The
Flies and you'd be surprised how old the juvenile bullying went. We're
talking 20 year old counselors administering noogies to 10-year-old
campers as punishment for various infractions. It was like something
out of Tom Brown's Schooldays.
In any case, punching on the arm was usually in connection with a
punching game, like "units." And a Hertz Donut was a titty twister.
The article cited is probably correct for a particular geographic
region at a particular time, but it's hardly definitive.
I'd say a raised-knuckle-punch could probably be classified as a
noogie even if not delivered to the top of the head.

Brooke addresses this in his blog, in his usual manner:

I've always known a noofie as being caught in a headlock and being a
firm knuckle rub on the noggin'
I suppose this is really that "regional problem" that we encounter every
so often.
Rusty
noofie? Err, noogie. too bad the spell check doesn't recognize
noogie as an actual word.
Ted Nolan <tednolan>
Didn't noogies go national on SNL? I seem to remember that in that
series of sketches with Bill Murray as "Todd/Pizzaface", Jane Curtain as
Mrs. Loopner and Lorainne Newman as the Daughter, Todd was always giving
her noogies that seemed to involved getting her in a headlock and rubbing
his nuckles on her head. It seemed forceful and embarassing, but not
painful.

Regional variation I hadn't been aware of, but I see that the first
quotation in the OED is
1978 C. MILLER -National Lampoon's Animal House Bk_. 14 Furious,
Larry gave Kent a hard noogie punch on the arm.
although they also refer to
J. E. Lighter _Hist. Dict. Amer. Slang_ cites a New York
University student in 1972 as saying that a 'noogie is a kind of a
punch or a jab you give someone with your third and middle
finger. You do it on the forehead or on the shoulder.'
I'm surprised it's that late. The earliest I see on Google Books is
from the 1968 _The Indian Wants the Bronx_, in which the stage
direction for a noogie is "raps Joey on the R. arm".

The pop sound you hear is my personal thought balloon bubble bursting.
