Wall of Text: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Thrawn Trilogy]]'' comic series doesn't quite go to those extremes, but since it's a ''very'' [[Compressed Adaptation]], there are quite a few pages full of text. [http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/1130111.html Take a look].

* Jeremy "Norm" Scott's ''[[Hsu and Chan]]'' comics can get '''VERY''' wordy at times. While the walls scare off new readers, fans of the series will usually claim that Norm's style of humor justifies the intense word count. The comic's creator is aware of the wordiness of his comics and likes to joke about it constantly on his website.

* The comic adaptation of ''[[The Stand]]'' basically takes most of the narration from the [[Doorstopper|really long book]] and puts it in dialogue boxes over the action as it is happening.

* In ''[[Mafalda]]'', each time [[Gossipy Hens|Susanita]] starts telling gossip about the neighbours her speech bubble becomes a Wall of Text. On one occasion Felipe's body gets covered in text, until Manolito "saves him" by arriving and greeting them, breaking the flow of gossip.

* ''[[Marathon Trilogy|Marathon]] 2: Durandal'' features [http://marathon.bungie.org/story/blake.html#22 a terminal in the level Kill Your Television] with no spaces or punctuation deliberately to be cryptic and vague. [http://marathon.bungie.org/story/kytterm.html Fans did decrypt the message], but, in typical old-school Bungie fashion, [[Mind Screw|it still didn't make much sense]].

* If you make a rather wordy post on the ''[[City of Heroes]]'' forum, some people will complain they were killed by your wall of text. Some [[Troll|Trolls]] will engage in wall of text contests to see if they can overload the forum display.

* ''[[Silent Hill Promise]]'' The comic, like the [[Adventure Game|adventure games]] it apes, supplements the images with plenty of narration.

* ''[[Something Positive]]'' has a bad case of this; ironically this is more noticable since the comic is drawn to allow ample space from them, and is a good indication to the presence of strawmen. One particularly [[Egregious]] [http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp07232004.shtml example] is lampshaded with the following:

* ''[[Irregular Webcomic]]'' made fun of this trope [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1159.html here]. Notable that it use the strings of text as a way to make fun of the trope instead of having some sort of [[Lampshade Hanging]] outside the strings of text.

* ''[http://www.viruscomix.com/subnormality.html Subnormality]'' '''is''' walls of text (except when it's [[Text Plosion]]... Or totally wordless). It's right there in the sub-title: "Comix with too many words since 2007."

* [[UNIX]] manual pages.

* [http://www.adturds.co.uk/2010/11/tell-me-what-this-baffling-job-description-means.html The incoherent, babbling, jargon-filled mess that is the job description critiqued in this blog article,] and it isn't exactly helped by [[Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma|some of the worst grammar to ever exist in something that was supposed to attract people to the job]]: [[No Punctuation Period|three full stops in the entire block of text]], random capitalisation and abuse of apostrophes. This borderline [[Word Salad]] was more likely to have put people ''off'' applying than it was to generate recruits.

* The labels on bottles of [http://www.drbronner.com/dr_bronners_philosophy.php Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap] mix this with a kind of religious/philosophical/advertising version of [[Room Full of Crazy]]. (If the picture on their [http://www.drbronner.com/history_overview.php history page] is really of the late Dr. B, it would certainly [[Mad Scientist|explain a lot]].)
