Do you need speech marks inside a bubble?

This is a great question! The answer depends on what you're doing:

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!
