When sleeping, a character whose primary thrust is comedic invariably develops a bubble of snot from one nostril that inflates and deflates in sync with their breathing or their snoring. Basically the anime equivalent of 'Zzz' used in Western cartoons and comics. While perhaps considered a [[Squick|pretty gross concept]] in the West, Japanese media tends to portray it as cute.
