      |  The 'breaking news' template below is based on years of    |
      |  similar TV-style graphics but specifically from a design   |
      |  I saw in a recent comic book (I can't remember which).     |
      |                                                             |
      |  Also: a square speech bubble instead of a circular style   |
      |  because it fits more text in the same amount of space.     |
      |                                                             |
      |  Total template size is a DOS-friendly 80x25...             |
