Formal/Literary Comics:
* Full stops are used: In these comics, the speech bubbles often follow standard grammar and punctuation rules, including the use of full stops at the end of sentences. This gives a more formal tone and emphasizes the complete thought.
Informal/Casual Comics:
* Full stops may be omitted: In more informal comics, full stops are often omitted to mimic natural speech and create a more casual feel.
* Other punctuation may be used: Instead of full stops, exclamation marks, question marks, or ellipses might be used to emphasize emotion, tone, or trailing thought.
General Guidelines:
* Consistency is key: Within a single comic, it's generally best to be consistent with your punctuation style.
* Context matters: Consider the tone and style of your comic when deciding whether or not to use full stops.
Examples:
* Formal: "I'm going to the store. Do you need anything?"
* Informal: "I'm going to the store! You need anything?"
Ultimately, the choice of whether or not to use full stops in speech bubbles is up to the artist and the overall style of the comic.
