FRIDAY SURPRISE: Ever wondered about cartoon speech balloons?

Friday, September 15, 2006 Filed in: Friday Surprise!, Completely irrelevant
We're used to having little "balloons" tethered to our favorite cartoon characters that show us what the character is thinking or saying. Cartoons have been around longer than those balloons, though, and this site shows you the evolution of the now ubiquitous balloons.

OK, I admit - it's pretty useless information, but aren't you glad someone, somewhere, made up an entire web page on the topic? Amaze your friends with your knowledge of 19th century cartooning! (Or not...)
