Note to Self - Speaking without Words with Word Balloons

Word gallons are for more than just words. They can be used to emphasis and even add emotions and to a scene

Feeling dizzy? About to pass out?

A lilting playful swirl (Time and Time Again by Deo I)

The white and black of the text has been replaced with a sinister black and the words are off tilter (Sword Interval by Benjamin Fleuter)

The voice is coming from a place deeper and more unsettling and the text is uneven and handwritten

A dismissive comment literally (metaphorically) stabs someone (Marionetta by Míriam Bonastre Tur)

Being interrupted before finishing what is being said

A withering and icy reply (The Secrets of Soulford by the Quincil)

Wobbly uncertain bubbles that even break apart in some parts from dizziness (The Blind Prince by cozycroww)

Pain almost appears to be breaking the usually round bubble into uneven and broken balloons. The little smaller balloons around it are reminiscent of sweat or tears (Heir’s Game by suspu)

Note to Self - Convert a Physical Page to Online Scrolling

(No spoilers, don’t worry)

Little Nemo in Slumberland (February 17, 1907)

The original full vertical page is 800px by 7680px, but split into 8 images via Croppy (using the Line Webtoon option) to preserve image quality and get around upload limitations

On sites like Webtoon the seam between images is not visible, but Tumblr introduces a few pixels of padding between each image

Vertical scrolling takes advantage of spacing between panels to make time appear to slow down for the reader, since it artificially increases the time it takes to read the page. For the sake of curiosity, we will expand the last three panels of Nemo floating through space to emphasis how lost he feels and how sudden his return is
