>> Add cartoon style speech bubbles to photos within minutes I think you are underselling here... I don't think you'd be lying if you said "in seconds". I can't imagine any quicker way of doing this. Also, I like how you can drag an image directly onto the page and it uploads. You may want to add some visual queues for that (like imgur). Good job!

I concur. It took me maybe 10-20 seconds, because it's very intuitive to use and I don't have to upload to give it a try. Plus, the site has no loading issues, which is rarer than it should be.

Do the suggested improvements, especially the social integration, and it might go viral. Good job!

Really nice! I think it might be good though, if the UI controls for speech bubble style could be on the other side, away from the "business end" of the (default) speech bubble. Usually those controls will be covering the face or mouth or... sound utterance mechanism of whatever you're making talk.

Really nice and fun though!

If anyone’s looking for something like this but more flexible, the $30 desktop app Comic Life (http://comiclife.com/) also lets you add speech bubbles to images, as well as arrange the images in panels and write sound effects. Comic Life was bundled free with new Macs a few years ago, so you might already own it.
