Literature and comics are different languages, but they share some features. This paper focuses on one of them, namely dialogue. We present some aspects of the language of comics in relation to dialogue, its oral character, and an interesting trend in its use in Brazilian Portuguese. We suggest that the intersection of these aspects corresponds to a number of proposals defended by Britto (2012) regarding the orality effect of dialogue translation in literary fiction. Finally, we propose that Monica’s Gang comics may serve as a model for dialogue translation in children’s literature.
