Collin, thinking: The speech bubble is a fairly old invention, seen in ancient Olmec- or was it Mayan- drawings.
In Medieval times, speech was represented by scrolls coming from the speaker's mouth.
But the history of the thought bubble is much more difficult to trace. While the speech balloon has been in its present form since the 18th century, the origins of 'the cloud" are much less defined.
But I'm wondering what these things are made out of.
Collin: Marvin, I really need you for an experiment, 'k?
Think something. Think anything.
Marvin: ...
Marvin, thinking: Oh, this is ridiculous.
Collin: Good. Now I want you to, quite literally...
Marvin, thinking: Oh, this is ridiculous.
Collin: Hold that thought.
Marvin, thinking: Oh, this is ridiculous.
