* To a lesser extent, in ''[[Kira Is Justice]]'', some of the characters (ie. Fiona and Landras) talk in bold. The former seems insane, the latter is a [[Shinigami]].
* Skidmark's speech becomes a wave of rainbow-colored bleeps when he runs afoul of <s>Taylor</s> Freakazoid! in the ''[[Worm]]/[[Freakazoid!]]'' crossover ''[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/freakout-worm-freakazoid-complete.809429/page-3#post-63659126 Freakout]''.

* The webcomic ''[[Sodium Eyes]]'' started using distinctively colored speech balloons for each character, so that readers could more easily tell which lines of dialog were spoken by which character. It works so well it's surprising the technique wasn't employed by many comics long ago.
* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' also uses colored speech balloons for various characters, though the colors are very subtle.
* ''[[MS Paint Masterpieces]]'' uses this for emphasis.
* In ''[http://centerstorm.net/lite/cview.php?c=pba Poink-Blank Assassin]'',{{Dead link}}
