Did you see that Tomie snuck in a "hesitant" balloon? When he says, "Yes, and... What should I say?" Some of the less common balloons in this episode are more common in Europe ("bandes dessinées") and others in Asia, particularly in Japan and South Korea. If you think of more balloon types that Meeiu and Tomie didn't mention, go ahead -- please list those in a comment! Thanks!!
