About: Talking with Signs   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A mute character -- or one who has been rendered speechless by events -- will communicate with hand-held wooden signs on which are scrawled his comments and questions. Flipping the sign will often display additional messages -- often more than the two one would expect from a simple two-sided object. These signs appear and disappear (like so many other possessions of cartoon characters) as needed. Usually they are examples of No Fourth Wall, as they frequently bear comments made to the audience, not other characters. Compare Hand Signals for those who communicate with hand gestures.
