What is the に with dakuten? I'm sort of guessing it's like a visual pun on にこにこにー (catchphrase) and にこにこだ (I'm nico[tine]) since に looks similar to だ?
As to my knowledge, the dakuten can also be used to indicate the syllables that are supposed to be pronounced with stress or loud, etc, any kind that would make it special compared to normal. Like some times in comics, the character might scream "aaaa" with dakuten to say they are scared over the top.

The standard use of the dakuten (literally "muddy mark") is to indicate voiced consonants (t->d k->g). When used in a non-standard manner on kana which don't usually have dakuten (or handakuten), it indicates a distorted ("muddy", or "unclear") pronunciation. This can happen if the character is crying, shouting (in a growly sort of tone), otherwise overcome with emotions, sleepy, drunk, on drugs, etc.
Dakuten can also indicate a pronounced accent, usually either nasal or guttural.
Heck, to me, multiple non-standard dakuten in a character's speech reminds me of Christian Bale's "throat cancer" Batman.
...which is quite fitting for this picture, really.
