Editing Eye dialect (section)

===In comics===
American [[cartoonist]] [[Al Capp]] frequently combined eye dialect with pronunciation spelling in his [[comic strip]] ''[[Li'l Abner]]''.  Examples include ''l{{not a typo|issen, aristocratick, mountin}}'' [mountain], ''{{not a typo|correkt, feends, hed, introduckshun, leppard}},'' and perhaps the most common, ''{{not a typo|enuff}}''.  Only his rustic characters are given these spellings; for instance, the "overcivilized" Bounder J. Roundheels's dialogue contains ''gourmets'', while Li'l Abner's contains ''{{not a typo|goormays}}''.<ref name="Malin 1965 230"/>

Cartoonist [[Walt Kelly]] made extensive use of eye dialect in ''[[Pogo (comic strip)|Pogo]]''. Like Pratchett, he used unique fonts for many of his supporting characters.{{citation needed|date=January 2022|reason=Find a reference that argues how use of fonts is a kind of eye dialect instead of just an alternative literal device}}

Some cartoonists and comic book creators eschew phonetic eye dialects in favor of font changes or distinctive [[speech balloons]]. ''[[Swamp Thing]]'', for example, has traditionally been depicted using "crusty" yellow speech balloons and dialogue heavily laced with ellipses, suggesting a gravelly voice that only speaks with great effort. Robotic and computer characters often use square speech balloons and angular fonts reminiscent of [[OCR-A]], suggesting a stilted, emotionless cadence. [[Thor (comics)|Thor]]'s dialogue has routinely been written in an elegant font, implying his archaic vocabulary and pronunciation as a millennia-old god. After Thor passed the mantle to [[Jane Foster]], her dialogue was written in the same font whenever she transformed into Thor, before reverting to normal when she did as well.
