Thought Bubble Tip

Does your thought bubble look like this?

If you find your thought bubble text doesn't fit inside the bubble, keep in mind that you may have to trim your lines depending on the width of the letters you're using.

The bubbles are a bit of a manual process. Since all letters vary in their widths, the content you use in the bubble ultimately decides how many words you'll have space for. We have set a limit on the amount of text on each line, but it's not possible to calculate the width of each letter.

We have provided extra space on the line to to account for narrower letters. If you use words with lots of narrow letters like l, i, or t, you'll have a bit more space to use than if you are using a lot of capital letters or wider letters like m or w.

You may need to shorten the lines of text until they all reside on a single line. Unless your combination of letters is very narrow, you'll rarely be able to use the entire length of the line provided. If you go over into the next line, your content will be uneven and your last lines will overflow your bubble.
