Speech and thought bubbles, respectively, are bubbles in which speech or thought is written in comics. I'm not sure but they might also be called speech and thought balloons but I can't remember. As for the boxes in comics, I have no idea what they are called, but I'm sure you could continue to call them "boxes" in lieu of a more appropriate label for them.

In the first frame, Lucy is saying to Charlie Brown... and Snoopy has a little thought bubble with a picture of his supper dish.

I think the bubbles are used for thought and the balloons for speech.

EDIT: Philip and I posted at the same time. I think cels are for animation, and each frame of the hand-drawn movie animation is a cel. I

Curious!

I had originally answered frames, and it must have been while I was changing my answer to cells that you posted.
