The storytelling in ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' is usually limited to SpeakingSimlish and actions, but this is still used on rare occasions. In "Doggone It", for example, Lumpy figuring out that the sound of a whistle is what makes [[MeaningfulName Whi]][[KillerRabbit stle]] go crazy is represented by him [[VisualPun literally]] connecting the dots into one in a thought bubble.

!!Examples:

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* Gag comics such as [[MortadeloYFilemon ''Clever & Smart'']] commonly had pictures in speech bubbles whenever a character was supposed to curse; for example, in the speech bubble there would be a pig with the face of another person if the character was angry and shouting at him, or just the picture of a turd when someone was supposed to say "shit!".

Pictorial Speech Bubbles are generally used in two ways. First, to show the general gist of what the character is saying, without the need to focus on what their exact words are. Second, to represent the character's general mood, attitude or thoughts, even when he isn't specifically saying anything. It's not always easy to tell the two variations apart.

* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Jumper}} Jumper Three]]'', Ogmo and the planet's natives communicate between each other using speech bubbles with pictures in them.

RebusBubble is a subtrope. Compare also SpeakingInPanels.

* The ''{{Asterix}}'' comic books use speechbubbles with different typefaces to represent characters speaking in various languages. Egyptians speak in hieroglyphics. Once, when Obelix attempts to speak the Egyptians' language, his speechbubble is filled with badly drawn animals and stick-figures.

* WebGame ''VideoGame/ButThatWasYesterday''. All of the characters who communicate in the game use this technique. For example, when someone wants to tell another character to "get up" or "jump", their speech bubble holds an up arrow.
