[[Speech Bubbles]] are graphic interpretations of characters' speech. Therefore, cartoonists show interruption or talking over another person's speech most conveniently by [[Painting the Medium]]
Obscuring with another speech bubble means that the character is interrupted or drowned out by another. [[media:interruption2.jpg|Obscuring]] with [[Written Sound Effect
