Outcault's Yellow Kid is generally credited as the first American comic strip character. Containing the world's first comic strip, it also made it the first to use speech bubbles. In the UK in 1825 The Glasgow Looking Glass, regarded as the world's first comic magazine, was created by English satirical cartoonist William Heath. With the development of the comics industry during the 20th century, the appearance of speech balloons has become increasingly standardized, though the formal conventions that have evolved in different cultures (USA as opposed to Japan, for example) can be quite distinct. They later became disused, but by 1904 had regained their popularity, although they were still considered novel enough to require explanation. Word balloons (also known as " banderoles") began appearing in 18th-century printed broadsides, and political cartoons from the American Revolution (including some published by Benjamin Franklin) often used them-as did cartoonist James Gillray in Britain. These were in common European use by the early 16th century. In Western graphic art, labels that reveal what a pictured figure is saying have appeared since at least the 13th century.
Įarlier, paintings, depicting stories in subsequent frames, using descriptive text resembling bubbles-text, were used in murals, one such example witten in Greek, dating to the 2nd century, found in Capitolias, today in Jordan. One of the earliest antecedents to the modern speech bubble were the " speech scrolls", wispy lines that connected first-person speech to the mouths of the speakers in Mesoamerican art between 600 and 900 AD.

History Before the 20th century, speech was depicted using bands, flags, scrolls, or sheets of paper. A formal distinction is often made between the balloon that indicates speech and the one that indicates thoughts the balloon that conveys thoughts is often referred to as a thought bubble or conversation cloud. Speech balloons (also speech bubbles, dialogue balloons, or word balloons) are a graphic convention used most commonly in comic books, comics, and cartoons to allow words (and much less often, pictures) to be understood as representing a character's speech or thoughts.
