      |     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...          |
