	Speech balloon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Speech balloons (also speech bubbles, dialogue balloons, or word balloons) are a graphic convention used in comic books, strips, and cartoons to allow words (and much less often, pictures) to be understood as representing the speech or thoughts of a given character in the comic.
		In manga, there is a tendency to include the speech necessary for the storyline in balloons, while small scribbles outside the balloons add side comments, often used for irony or to show that they're said in a much smaller voice.
		In the United States, the speech balloon font often uses a sans-serif "I" for the letter "i" appearing in normal words, but a serifed "I" for the English language pronoun "I".

	Balloon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Such balloons, which lift a payload using buoyancy, should not be confused with balloons in space, launched with a rocket, which are simply large deployable structures.
		Balloons are sometimes used in form of a rockoon as carrier for rockets.
		Certain catheters have balloons at their tip to keep them from slipping out, for example the balloon of a Foley catheter is insufflated when the catheter is inserted into the urinary bladder and secures its position.

	The Aesthetics of Comics by David Carrier
		The speech balloon is a defining element of the comic because it establishes a word/image unity that distinguishes comics from pictures illustrating a text, like Tenniel's drawings for Alice in Wonderland.
		Speech balloons, because they are visible to the reader but do not lie within the picture space containing the depicted characters, distinguish comics from both old-master art and the seventeenth-century broadsheets presented by Kunzle.
		In focusing on these devices, the speech balloon and the narrative sequence, my account thus might be called a formal analysis-with the understanding that, as I show in Chapter 5, the form of comics places very real constraints on its content, on the kinds of stories that are most effectively told.

	Sequential Tart: Hopelessly Lost (vol VI/iss 7/July 2003)
		(Balloons of any other shape would be considered special effects.) The word units are usually composed into diamond shapes that beautifully suit the elliptical form of the standard balloon This is the classic approach to lettering, with its roots in commercial art, and with the goal of achieving smoothness and balance.
		Designing your speech balloons this way can be a little bit more work, since each balloon needs to be designed to fit both the dialog pattern that goes inside it and the space available inside the panel.
		Balloons designed this way can't always be perfect ellipses, and the arrangement of the words inside them will probably never be as elegant as the classic diamond compositions, but there is certainly no reason they have to look lumpy or ragged.

		JB says "balloon", someone else says "bubble", and they could both be right.
		It's okay for balloons to call other balloons "bubble", But it's just wrong for a non-balloon to use the word.
		But as to the whole balloon/bubble thing, it's always been more accurate to say "dialogue balloon" and "thought bubble," being that while dialogue is always housed in a balloon, there's no dialogue being exchanged through the use of bubbles, because they contain only the single thought(s) of one person.
