1. Comic Books and Speech Bubbles:
* Traditional Comic Books: You usually don't use speech marks inside a speech bubble. The bubble itself acts as a visual indicator of speech.
* Some Modern Comics: You might see speech marks used inside bubbles for stylistic reasons or emphasis.
2. Writing Dialogue in Text:
* Standard Dialogue: You always use speech marks around spoken words, regardless of whether you're using a bubble.
Example:
Comic Book Style:
[Bubble] "Hello there!"
Written Dialogue:
"Hello there!" she said.
In short, the rules for speech marks are different depending on the context. If you're drawing a comic, you'll likely skip the speech marks inside the bubble. But in written dialogue, those marks are essential!
