Comics

Speech bubbles, or speech balloons, represent the speech or thoughts of a character.

Look at the picture: you can draw them in many different ways,

but every speech bubble has:

• the text
• the tail.

You can change the lettering of what you write inside the speech bubble according to each situation.

Look at the picture.

You can choose the first type of lettering if the character is talking normally.

You can choose the second type of lettering if the character is screaming.

You can choose the thrid type of lettering to emphasise what the character is feeling.

A panel, or a frame, is a rectangle or square where the action of the comic is drawn.

There are three main types of panel lines: look at the picture!
