* In ''Meta4'' by [[TedMcKeever Ted McKeever]] this is how Gasolina talks. It's actually the font Dingbats, but the effect is the same.
* In [[PolishMedia Polish comic book]] series [[ComicBook/LilIPut Lil i Put]] ("Lil and Put") we are told that the language of the [[OurFairiesAreDifferent fairies]] sound like ringing of a bell, which is represented by drawings of ringing bells in their speechbubbles. As the stories progress we get [[HurricaneOfPuns plenty of different variation]] on their speechbubbles such as fairy [[VisualPun welcoming a person has a picture of doorbell ringing, fairy calling for help has a picture of a fire-alarm, fairy yelling loudly has a bell tower]] to name just few.

* ''{{ComicBook/Norby}}'': In panel seven of chapter nine of the ''Literature/NorbyTheMixedUpRobot'' adaptation, Fargo has a red question mark inside his speech bubble as the other protagonists move over to touch him.
* In the ''X-Men'' comic books, mutant Artie does not speak a word, but can project his thoughts in the form of images as substitute (for the word balloons). This is seen more clearly, for example, in ''X-Men Unlimited'' #14 (1997) and ''Generation X'' (1994).

* ''VideoGame/TheSims'': The sims talk in these as otherwise they would be incomprehensible as they are SpeakingSimlish. For example, a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sims-fire_8074.png picture of fire]] for fire.

* ''VideoGame/PokemonCrystal'': Misty says "♥" when you see her on her date at Cerulean Cape, in a combination with SayItWithHearts.

* ''VideoGame/AVeryLongRopeToTheTopOfTheSky'': If you agree to participate in an arena, the person you talk to for that says "♥", in a combination with SayItWithHearts.

* ''{{Webcomic/Sinfest}}'': [[ChasteHero Criminy]] used to all the time when reading to [[SuccubiAndIncubi Fuchsia]], one of those [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-04-25 episodes]] leading directly to her rather spectacular HeelFaceTurn.

RebusBubble, and SymbolSwearing are subtropes. SayItWithHearts would also happen, if an example had a HeartSymbol in it, or was just consisting of them. Compare also SpeakingInPanels.

-->-- ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''

* Shows up ''several times'' in ''WesternAnimation/MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur'' to reflect characters' states of emotions or something going on at the moment like someone calling off-camera or a phone ringing, in keeping with the comic book style of the show.

* ''Webcomic/LoveUnlimited2022'': In the ''s. Marvel & Red Dagger'' arc, whenever Kamala's not listening to her parents, their speech bubbles are drawn as unreadable scribbles rather than text.

* ''{{Webcomic/Sinfest}}'': [[ChasteHero Criminy]] used to all the time when reading to [[HornyDevils Fuchsia]], one of those [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-04-25 episodes]] leading directly to her rather spectacular HeelFaceTurn.

* ''Webcomic/RoguesOfClwydRhan'' have sometimes bubbles still containing some text, but with added pictures framing it for the mood. For example, an extremely old witch has speech bubbles with frayed borders and spiderwebs in it. In another case, a diplomat has a voice so icy it is [[http://rocr.net/index.php?p=20000822 framed in ice with stalactites underneath, and a polar bear, penguin and igloo on top]].

* [[ChasteHero Criminy]] used to do this all the time when reading to [[HornyDevils Fuchsia]] in ''{{Webcomic/Sinfest}}'', one of those [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-04-25 episodes]] leading directly to her rather spectacular HeelFaceTurn.
* Munchie speaks using images in ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' though only a few can understand him, Menu is among those who can as seen [[http://www.charbythevampirate.com/comic/53 here.]]
