I'm using photoshop now to do the dialog and speech bubbles of my comic, but I can't seem to be able to get a good tail on the speech bubbles. I'm trying the pen tool, but I'll be damned if I can figure that thing out. Anyone got some advice?

Hello,
This site has a nice little guide to word balloons and it explains using the pen tool for the tails. It helped me understand it anyway.

That's a great tutorial :) thanks for sharing.

You might want to check out Illustrator, I find it easier to edit and the vector type is nice and sharp. Plus, it works really well in tandem with PS.
