Thank you for your kind words, Jezzi. For Reluctant Witness I air-brushed out the
original thought-balloon completely, and then added the new double-bubble with Comic Life. I use the double-bubble layout quite a lot, for several reasons:
1. For a "set-up and punch-line" effect as in Reluctant Witness.
2. To fit the text into the page layout, especially where I need to work it into a narrow space, as in
Better Living Through Chemistry.
3. To break up the text visually when I've been a bit *ahem* verbose, and reduce the "
wall of words" effect, as in
Heartbreak On The Menu.
Edit: LOL on Unclear On The Concept!
