Can we talk about your tails? Here are just 4 suggestions that are standard practice in professional comic book lettering. #comicbook#lettering#blambot

I could see crossed tails if one character is abruptly interrupting another.

thank you! 📌

Seeing stuff like this that I've never thought about is cool. Can someone explain more on the fourth image (crossing tails)? I'm wondering what the design reasoning is.

❤️❤️❤️

The last one reminds me of Ghostbusters, and now I kinda want to go read a Ghostbusters comic and see if they crossed the tails.

Thanks for the tips 📌

I've noticed that manga violates your second "crossed tails" rule quite a bit - probably just a cultural difference or maybe a thing in translation where the original language makes it more clear who is speaking, I suppose. (I don't have specific examples at hand, but it's confused me before.)

Honestly do whatever you want with bubbles. everything should not look the same, fucked up bubbles can be cool BUT knowing speech order is extremely important

I always pushed my writers to list characters in a panel in speaking order (left to right), and when they didn’t do it, I rewrote it for them. It seems like the simplest thing in the world, but some writers just couldn’t figure it out.

Noted, thanks
