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 as the backdrop--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.
 
[[Long Speech Tea Time]] can have actions that obstruct the bubbles.

* Vaarsuvius of ''[[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]]'' 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]]''
