His words initially appeared on his yellow shirt, but word balloons very much like those used presently were added almost immediately, as early as 1896. Outcault's Yellow Kid is generally credited as the first American comic strip character. 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. With respect to 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. In this 1807 political cartoon opposing Jefferson's Embargo, the form and function of speech balloons is already similar to their modern use.
