** He once wrote a book report entitled "The Dynamics of Interbeing and Monological Imperatives in ''Dick And Jane'': A Study in Psychic Transrelational Gender Modes."
** ''What if someone calls us a pair of pathetic peripatetics?''
* The Caged Demonwolf from ''[[Empowered (Comic Book)|Empowered]]'', with lots of [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]. (''"Like unto 80s action-cinema icon Michael Dudikoff, be you a fabled [[Ninja]] American, oh jingoistic jackanapes?"'')

* Mammoth Mogul of the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comic is known for this, to the point that when told Mogul wants to talk with him, Sonic prays that he has a sore throat as he's got other things to do that day.
* One of the Kingpin's lieutenants speaks like this in ''[[Daredevil]]'': Born Again. Like the [[Sin City]] example above, this was ''[[Self -Plagiarism|also written by]]'' [[Frank Miller]]. It predates it by a number of years, but still.

How long? In his first appearance, he speaks uninterrupted for ''five. straight. issues.''
