# Add balloons

Balloons are one of the primary elements of Comic Life, providing a way of quickly adding speech and thoughts to your page. A balloon is comprised of one or tails and one or more bubbles. When a balloon is added to the page it is configured with one tail and one bubble, but you add more tails and bubbles as you need.

To add a balloon, do one of the following:

- Choose Insert > Balloon (from the Insert menu at the top of your screen).

  A speech balloon is added near the center of the current page.

- Drag and drop a balloon from the Element Well at the bottom of the Comic Life window.

  A balloon of the selected type is added at the drop location.
