Thought Bubble Speech | comment |
Animals can't talk, but they can think, so lines that look like dialog appear in thought bubbles. Sometimes animals can communicate with each other and reply to each other's thought balloons. This means that either the thought balloons are effectively translations of Animal Talk, or all animals are telepathic. Related to Speech-Impaired Animal, Nearly Normal Animal and Animal Talk. This is a comic trope — the film equivalent would be to sub-title an animal. |

Sam in Melonpool is an interesting example in that his speech is always depicted in thought bubbles, but other people can hear and understand him because he communicates telepathically. He can't use telephones, however, as telepathic thoughts can't be recorded. | |

In the BBXX Baby Blues book, it reveals that Rick and Jerry's first rule in the series was to not let Zoe communicate through thought bubbles, but broke it in the first comic. In the early comics, instead of words, they use objects (ex: a lollipop) to show what Zoe is thinking. One comic had Zoe remembering what Wanda said to her about locking the door. A few comics feature Wren talking through thought bubbles, but not directly to the viewer. Throughout the series, the "Wren talking through thought bubbles" concept was rarely seen and communication was rarely seen in the series. | |

The animals from Garfield, apart from Odie. Garfield and Friends keeps with this by not having the animal character's mouths move when they talk; in one episode, Garfield breaks the fourth wall and explains that there's a special microphone that can capture what the animals are thinking. | |

Used in Two Lumps. In fact, in this example, thought bubbles are used for conversation, while internal monologue is handled by Thought Captions. | |

Scooby-Doo does this throughout his comic book career from the earliest period (Dec. 1969) up to around the time Marvel assumed the Hanna-Barbera line. At that point he was given regular word balloons with the speech impediment prevalent on his TV series. | |
