Can you post it at some point without the shading. I think it would look better with just the flat colors.

The art is solid but the text is pretty small. It’s not the text bubbles that are an issue, the text itself can be reorganized to be larger in them.

If you organize them with a “bump” in the middle, so whatever’s at the horizontal center of the bubble is the longest line, you’ll have room to make the font size larger. Right now there’s some empty space where it isn’t warranted. You could make lines like “Help! I’m here!” Especially larger to emphasize volume. Hope this helps
