Go To


1	'''Basic Trope''': A panel lacks speech or thought bubbles.
2	* '''Straight''': In one panel, Alex says something stupid. The next panel shows Bob, without a word, walking away.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': And so do the next page and a half.
4	* '''Downplayed''': The next panel shows Bob with an ellipses speech bubble.
5	* '''Justified''': It is necessary to convey an awkward or otherwise silent moment.
6	* '''Inverted''':
7	** One panel shows Alex deep in thought, with words absent. In the next, he says something stupid to Bob.
8	** Or: In one panel, Alex says something stupid. Bob fills the next with a WallOfText.
9	* '''Subverted''': In a comic, a panel depicts a loudspeaker calling for a moment of silence. Until this moment is up, the kids in the class are as loud as they can be, with words in every panel.
10	* '''Double Subverted''': At least, until the final panel of "silence", when the teacher performs a DeathGlare and they shut up.
11	* '''Parodied''': There's one in a middle of an intense fight scene.
12	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
13	* '''Averted''': Every panel has text.
14	* '''Enforced''': The editor feels the joke doesn't flow well without a beat.
15	* '''Lampshaded''':
16	** "Let's just have a beat panel so I can catch my breath."
17	** The beat panel is accompanied by a 'BEAT' UnsoundEffect.
18	* '''Invoked''': Someone in the comic shoves a picture of what the scene looks like into the camera and invents a single-panel speech bubble-blocker.
19	* '''Exploited''': A villain in the comic triggers this reaction in his target, and uses the time to line a bead on them with his sniper rifle while they're thinking.
20	* '''Defied''': Someone makes a machine to form speech bubbles in panels without them.
21	* '''Discussed''': "A moment ago, when I was silent and my mind was blank, I felt so . . . singled out!"
22	* '''Conversed''': "This comic tries too hard to get a beat panel in. The panels surrounding it are [[WallOfText walls of text]]."
23	* '''Deconstructed''': Upon Bob's silent exit, Alex begins to wonder if he's worthy of Bob's friendship, and this puts a strain on their relationship.
24	* '''Reconstructed''': Upon Bob's silent exit, Alex says, "Okay, maybe that joke wasn't that good."
