Regarding your new book (that I can't wait to get my hands on)
I just would like to point out that on cartoons when boulbles goes
from someone’s head (to the big balloon with text) it says what
that person is thinking. When big balloon has pointed angle toward
the head it is what that person is actually saying. Trust me.
It should be easy to fix. Good luck in making that book the best
book it can be.

I've been trying talk Kathy into that change for months!  Maybe you could try sending her an email!

OK, I promise that we'll look into this for the next one--the tools we have, believe it or not, make this *much* harder to do. So for now, just imagine that the characters are always using mental telepathy -- both thinking AND speaking, simultaneously 
Did Bert pay you to make this comment?
cheers and thanks

Dear Kathy
He didnt pay (I hope he will). To me it is like a langualge(I was reading comics since I was 4 years old and it definately work as you described)
I do imagine that those figures are just thinking and not saying.
I think that it would improve book.
Thanks
see how it is done
