Cartoons and comic strips typically use speech and thought balloons to show which characters are saying or thinking what. To better convey the full range of feelings and atmosphere in a cartoon narrative, each drawn person could be festooned with a veritable platoon of sensory balloons.
The reader
would be more attuned with the characters balloon-strewn to demonstrate also what they’re seeing, tasting, smelling and hearing. To better understand, click below soon.

Ahhhh! That floating hunk head is
trying to poke her eye out! |

Maybe if you had a way of
differentiating sense balloons from
thought and speech balloons... I can't
tell what stuff is being said and what's
being felt/thought. |
|

You didn't come up with this just so you
could use "cartoon" "festoon" "platoon"
and "balloons" all in the same sentence,
did you? |
|
| |
No, and I thought it was pretty obvious which sense is involved by seeing where the balloon originates. |

This site is like a woman. After two years here, for the life of me, I still don't have a friggin clue what will fly and what will bomb. |

[blea] It's the smell of her perfume. |

Maybe a version where there are just the thought balloons, and the reader must imaginarily provide the dialogue? |
|
| |
How about changing the shape of the balloons, as well?
Dagger = evil thoughts
Heart = loving thoughts etc.
Of course, the words in the balloon could contradict the shape of the balloon. |
|

Traditionally thought bubbles are drawn with a chain of circles rather than a point. You could extend this idea with wavy lines for smell, transverse lines for sound and so on. |
