    In comicbook word/thought bubbles, height in the panel always trumps laterality. It’s standard practice. You get used to it quickly.

      Yes, but Tuvok’s bubbles are only barely lower than Paris’ bubbles. Since there isn’t significant white space above Tuvok’s bubbles, it’s easy to read those first even when you’re used to comics, especially since they’re in the upper left corner. Move Tuvok’s bubble in the first panel to between Tuvok’s and Paris’ heads and that one gets much easier to read. Panel four would also benefit from larger text size on Paris’ line.
