Line 93:
* [[Acme Novelty Lirary]] by [[Chris Ware]], auther of [[Jimmy Corrigan, The Smartest Kid On Earth]] takes this trope to a new level by featuring a panel that says "Onomatopoeia: front door opening"
* In ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'', at least one X-Babies encounter ("Mojo Mayhem") has gone this way (with arguing murmurs written as "argue" or "debate" or "mutter" and the like.)
** [[Chris Claremont]] (as noted above, since he wrote the X-Babies storyline) tended to use this device, especially toward the end of his stint on Uncanny X-Men. In one issue we see an angry mob in the distance, and as they approach their angry murmuring is expressed as unsounds expressing their intent to do horrible things to the object of their wrath, such as [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|"murder," "mutilate," "bludgeon", and "sue
** In one issue by Claremont, Jubilee is served some [[Foreign Queasine]] and reacts with "That's it, that's it, that's IT!", followed by a speech bubble simply saying "hate, scream, cry, rage, rant, gripe, shriek!"
* Subverted in an issue of the ''[[The Mighty Thor|Thor]]'' comic book, where the Hulk hits Thor with an entire freight train (complete with attached cars). The editor's note on the page confesses that there's no onomatopoeia there because nothing they could think of would do the scene justice.
