A character in a comic talks, on and on and on, but the exact content's not important. Or else no one is listening.

Their blathering is given in a [[Wall of Text]]--often—often as the backdrop--butbackdrop—but [[Painting the Medium|the text is obscured]] with [[SpeechbubblesSpeech Bubbles Interruption]] (whether by other speech bubbles, the characters themselves, or some other visual element) so that the reader knows the complete text is not important.

Enough words are usually shown to get the gist of what the character is expressing, although [[Blah Blah Blah]] is also common.

* Used in ''[[Gorsky and Butch (Comic Book)|Gorsky and Butch]]'', mostly for really unimportant stuff but once for the authors' notes, which are extremely plot-relevant. But not only that -- inthat—in one scene they talk too much, and the speech bubbles create a traffic jam.

* In ''[[Turnabout Storm (Fanfic)|Turnabout Storm]]'' [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Rarity]] gets carried away when she gets the idea of making a new suit for [[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Phoenix]], and she keeps blathering in the background while Phoenix and Pinkie discuss where to go next.

* The credits to ''[[Wrongfully Accused (Film)|Wrongfully Accused]]'', among other [[Credits Gag]], include a section headed "Nobody Cares About These People", which is then scrolled through at about 300% speed.

* In one of the dream sequences in ''[[Max Payne (Video Gameseries)|Max Payne]]'', Max answers a phone to be greeted with a stream of meaningless nonsense spoken in his own voice, which is represented in the in-game graphic novel using this trope.

* Sometimes used in ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures (Webcomic)|Dan and Mabs Furry Adventures]]''. For example, in the Abel's Story bonus arc, Abel's friend Mink is quite the chatterbox, as shown [http://missmab.com/Comics/Ab_060.php here].

* Vaarsuvius of ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|The Order of the Stick]]'' has had this treatment a few times. [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0010.html The first of several.]

* ''[[Slightly Damned (Webcomic)|Slightly Damned]]'' has a lot of fun with this. It also has speech bubbles through which show a small patch of what's obviously a larger [[Wall of Text]].

* ''[[Precocious (Webcomic)|Precocious]]''

* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court (Webcomic)|Gunnerkrigg Court]]'': [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=731 Too whoozy to attend].
