albert has said in the past that we shouldn't add features, tags, pools, and the like for the sake of enabling Member-level users to get around the limitations.
That said, however, I like the idea of a silent comic or no text tag. It's a specific comic art device, used to give more impact to the visible actions and expressions, and to leave the dialogue (if any) implicit in the reader's imagination. We see it all the time in the Chibi Miku-san comics. I think it's worthy of tagging in its own right.
Call them "Chaplin's".
Anyway I agree with making a tag. As Sgcdonmai said it is more then just simplifying a search, it is a format in it's own right.
I like "silent comic" myself just because if you stop to think about it... ya it breaks the brain. Also it adds a bit of humour to the tag's concept.
I'm fine with the silent_comic tag, though I think there are also cases where a single or a few characters are silent but the other characters in the comic aren't. Silent as in speaking in pictures or symbols, not as in "..." silent.

Thinking about that

Third is clearly talking (of a sort), would snoring or sound FX be considered silent?

Chibi Miku? sure.
Yup.
I was thinking more in line with things like pool #1740, in this example Hakurei Reimu doesn't speak at all though all the other characters do. This is just an example, but there are other cases in which character(s) don't speak while other characters do in the series.
Only if it's the rule for the entire 4koma and not just one or two panels should a post qualify for the tag.
Sound effects or nonsense speech shouldn't be enough to disqualify a post as 'silent'. Considering that these and pictorial quotes represent speech of sorts, 'silent' isn't exactly the best terminology. Wordless_comic or no_text is more accurate.
How to handle descriptive text that isn't speech of a character?
