Speech Bubbles: Difference between revisions

* Several characters in ''[[The Sandman]]'' have distinctive speech bubbles or fonts -- each of the Endless and Matthew, in particular. At one point, Matthew "imitates" Morpheus with a speech bubble that looks like his. Delirium's speech bubbles contain wild swirls of color and wavering text, but when she was Delight (and sane), the colors were subdued and straight, and the text linear.

** [[The Grim Reaper|Death]] is the sanest and most down-to-earth of the Endless and the only one whose Speech Bubbles are completely normal.

* In ''[[Asterix]]'', the language of the Goths is represented by a Gothic font, Greeks speak in an angular font resembling the Greek alphabet, and Egyptian speech bubbles contain hieroglyph-style rebuses (even for onomatopoeia). When Obelix repeats a phrase in Egyptian, it looks like a shakily-drawn stick figure.

** ''Asterix and the Cauldron'' featured a Roman tax gatherer whose rectangular speech bubbles resembles modern tax forms, complete with check boxes.
