Description:
I tried my best to communicate the point. Hopefully you learned something new about comic making!
(Yes, this relates to BFDI. Specifically, the CS OSC. Almost nobody here knows how to properly use speech bubbles.)
PLEASE BOOST. IT WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED. AREN'T YOU TIRED OF THIS TOO?

I mean, there’s also numbering the speech bubbles. That still helps people know who’s talking first in each panel.

Why would you ever need to do that over just ordering it properly?
First of all, it still reads badly. Okay, so you can tell what order they're MEANT to be in. That still doesn't change what order you READ them in.
Second of all, it's just as easy if not easier to just get the speech bubbles to be in the right order.
It's just a cheap alternative to actually putting a slight amount of effort to make it read well.
And in NO case is it literally impossible to position it to do the proper ordering. As I said in the original post, it's totally fine to reposition characters or do whatever you need to in order to make it read well.
