Blissymbols, invented by Charles K. Bliss, were designed as a means of communication that does not need to be spoken. The symbols correspond to ideas, not to sounds. Whether this makes the comic easier to understand is debatable.

(Ed: Further information about Blissymbols, and a number of other constructed languages, can be found in Arika Okrent's fine book In The Land of Invented Languages.)
