Speech Bubbles are graphic interpretations of characters' speech. Therefore, cartoonists show interruption or talking over another person's speech most conveniently by Painting the Medium — specifically, obscuring a speech bubble with something. Obscuring with another speech bubble means that the character is interrupted or drowned out by another. Obscuring◊ with Written Sound Effects means the same for sounds. Sometimes a speech bubble may even be obscured with an object: Either this object produces loud and specific sounds that drown out the speech or the character stops talking immediately. Or perhaps it just shows that the other characters weren't listening. The Wall of Blather uses this on Wall of Text/Textplosion to indicate a "long lecture that no one listened to." A form of odd-shaped speech bubble, and so a Sub-Trope of Painting the Medium, often used for Curse Cut Short. When the speech bubble blocks something else, it's Speech-Bubble Censoring. See also Sound-Effect Bleep. Examples |

In the Horrible Histories book The Awful Egyptians, the narrator refers to the fact that at times, after great military victories, ancient Egyptians would gather the genitals from dead enemy soldiers and pile them up in public. In a caricature illustrating such a pile, a son says to his father, "Look at this huge pile of" "That's enough, son!" | |

Played with, hilariously, with Get Fuzzy. In order to make their lives "edgier," Bucky begins censoring Satchel by yelling beep over his speech bubbles. He even tries to use a little black box to cover up written swearwords. Of course, Satchel reveals he is trying to say, "oh sugar," but with Bucky beeping him, all you see ''oh s—." Rob ultimately stymies him by holding up a speech bubble out of Bucky's reach. | |

Invoked in Achille Talon, when the title character tries to explain the conception of a strip but gets a bubble saying "that text" glued onto his speech by an incompetent assistant. The entire end of the strip has him trying to speak while the glued bubble gets in the way of his text. | |

Soul Eater: Excalibur is infamous for interrupting other characters' sentences with his own non-sensical speech, and his speech bubbles reflect this as well. A particularly notable example appears in the last chapter, where he obscures most of Kid's mourning speech about his father. Black*Star provides another example when he fights Crona. When he starts screaming in response to Ragnarok's scream resonance, his screaming bubbles block out Ragnarok's scream bubbles. |

Bloom Into You has an unusual example that is not only Played for Drama, but involves a character cutting herself off. Yuu has Touko over, and learns that Touko hates herself, and doesn't want Yuu to love her, since Touko can't love someone who loves what she hates. After Touko leaves, Yuu has a brief internal monologue in which she more or less admits to loving Touko, and not wanting her to hate herself, which Yuu interrupts by loudly calling Touko an idiot. | |
