Other times it is the character's
goal
that requires speech. In
The ChubbChubbs,
the fumbling,
good-hearted, helpful hero, Meeper, wants nothing more than to be a respected karaoke
singer. In order to sing, he must also speak.
“Sock it to me! Sock it to me!”
“Why can't we be friends?”
“Hey Friends!”
“A little respect!”

Sometimes it is not what you say, but how you say it. In
A Great Big Robot from Outer
Space Ate My Homework,
Mark Shirra uses nonsense language that communicates both the
desperation of the boy (Bertie Lated) and the disbelief of the teacher (Miss Spleen). Again,
if they did not vocalize, it would be unbelievable. The whole point is trying to explain why
Bertie doesn't have his homework. But what they say is not as important as the intonation,
the pacing, and the passing of the dialogue between the characters.
