* ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' has Dabbler, [[HornyDevils a succubus]], [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2542 pulls off a non-nude variant]] while sporting some SensualSpandex poolside.

* Non-nudity related example: In the manga of ''Manga/DeathNote'', the Third Kira of Yotsuba Group ([[spoiler: Higuchi]]), whose identity is meant to be a surprise in the manga, thinks that he should use his Death Note to kill Matsuda, but can't because if he went home alone, the others would suspect him, and his thought balloon obscures his face, preventing the reader from finding out who it is. By contrast, the anime does not attempt to hide that [[spoiler:Higuchi]] is Kira.

* In one chapter of ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', Momo destroys her top with her creation power, and her modesty is only preserved by her dialogue. Jirou gets an eyefull, though.

** See strip #750 (June 4, 2013; nonetheless NSFW) for one example. It's maybe doubly necessary and doubly funny here because Senna is a {{transsexual}}, and casual readers may not realise exactly what they're not seeing.

* Creator/ScottMcCloud does this in ''[[ComicBook/UnderstandingComics Making Comics]]'' when he talks about talk bubbles. When he mentions the placement of talk bubbles, the panel shows him as Michelangelo's ''Art/{{David}}'' with his hair and NerdGlasses, and his speech is covering where the statue's penis would be.

* Used as a gag in [[http://beetlebailey.com/comics/august-12-2009/ this]] ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey'' strip.

* ''Webcomic/{{Ayuri}}'': Accidentally used in one strip due to poor planning.

* ''{{Webcomic/Blip}}'' has [[http://blip.rampagenetwork.com/188/ Bishop's roommate naked.]]

* ''World's Finest'' #253 uses an ''[[http://pics.livejournal.com/greenygal/pic/00098sf2 editorial footnote]]'' for the purpose.

* ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' performs a variant, stretching one nude body (Ash's) across three panels following a ShowerOfAngst. The naughty bits are hidden behind the panel breaks.

* In chapter 78 of ''BlueExorcist'', speech bubbles are used to cover Shura's nipples in several panels.

* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'': In [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_690.php this strip]], Abel demonstrates his shapeshifting abilities to Dan by changing into a [[GenderBender female form]]... without putting on a shirt first. Guess where one of his speech bubbles is located.
* In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', for the "Years of Yarncraft" arc, [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/080812 Zoe's speech bubble covers the assets of a Rose Elf]], while explaining why at the same time.

* America's Best Comics' ''[[ComicBook/TomStrong The Many Worlds of Tesla Strong]]'' features an alternate reality with No Nudity Taboo. Discomfort ensues. For [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ts.jpg Tesla]] [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ts2.jpg anyway]].

* ''ComicBook/SecretSix'' #11: A rear end view of Jeanette blocked by a word balloon. [[http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/606004.html Writer Gail Simone was disappointed when she found out]].
