    Debate time.
    Continuing the debate in Harison's thread. So it doesn't spam up his thread.
     
    Speech Bubbles, why? Because not only is it the way comics were meant to be, but they look better and you have more focus on the pictures in the panels than if you had text under pictures.
    Not to mention they look better if used properly.

    You continue to rock, text underneath is like me with no hair, not right.
     
    Hey put a voting poll as well. then well see which one is better.
     
    Hard to say... but I'll have to say speech bubble, sometimes they fill up too much of the screen though.
     
    I think it depends on the narrative technique you use. If the comic is very dialouge-heavy then speech bubbles are definitely the way to go as it is annoying as heck to keep shifting your eyes between the text panels and the pictures to see who's saying what and to whom. But if you like to take more of a storyteller approach to it then panels are the way to go as they won't clutter up the frames. Myself, I find speech bubbles preferable.
     
    Some people like to put the text under the panels, they find it hard to put text in bubbles.

    Other people use bubbles, they have no problem at all fitting the text in the bubbles.

    I say that both of them are fine.
     
    So far its atie. I see there are others that like text under the panel.

    ....what kind of immature comic starts a comic to prove me wrong?
    Speech Bubbles can be used right. You, however, failed with them. Comics are speech bubbles. Without them, they are mearly a story book. What sets Comic Books apart from Story books? Speech Bubbles. What sets Comic strips apart from Articles in a newspaper besides the pictures? Speech Bubbles. What sets Sprite Comics from Sprite fics? You should know the awnser.

    I like my post! It realy pwns people into going Speech Bubbles.
     
    I do agree with JC here, another option would be ideal
     
    Well I see that somethings here. Well I love how others put the Speech Bubbles and I love the Teachy TV and I don't know how many times I told Daviku that I'll be using Speech bubbles on my comic as the story goes on. So I won't vote just yet.

    exactly

    no hair would kill me
     
    Hm...that is really hard to say. I think...that I'll go with...neither. The situation varies, just like Alter Ego said. So, I'd have to say that when the approach calls, use Speech bubbles, but when you want more story, use Text under panel. I have used mainly text under panel, being a fan-fic writer, but I think that speech bubbles are what make a comic a comic and not a story book.
     
    Speech bubbles are for comics, text for fanfics. Speech bubbles look more organized and make it seem more like a comic instead of a fanfic. Plus, there isn't a lot of appealing, fancy stuff you can do with text-under-the-panels. TUTP (text under the panels) distracts your attention from the comic and makes you focus on the words instead.
     
    Speech bubbles! Geez, when you put it under the panel your just being lazy. If you don't want a speech bubble to take up so much space, don't make a friggin huge dialouge!

    But thats a hand-drawn comic, sprite comics are smaller, there for speech bubbles would take up to much room.
    IDK, I'm both ways really, I don't mind witch one is used.
    Just so long as the story and art is good.

    Ah toche' you see a sprite comic is still a comic none the less, the comics in the newspaper are tiny, yet use speach bubbles.
