How it works
An apostrophe in bubble letters is a fat drop that hangs at the top of the line, never on it. The sample is It's in six fonts; Fredoka's drop is round at the top and narrow at the foot.

The drop in six fonts
Fredoka tapers to a narrow foot. Baloo 2 is a wedge with a flat top. DynaPuff swells into an egg and Chewy into a slim oval. Mochiy Pop One draws a leaning block, and Bubblegum Sans the smallest wedge of the six.
Inside a word
The page opens on It's. The Bubble look presses the mark against its neighbors: in four of the fonts it shares one outline with the t. Mochiy Pop One and Baloo 2 keep it apart, and Look set to Hollow frees it in all six.
- By hand, draw the drop last, above the gap between the two letters, so it crowds neither.
- The apostrophe has no hole, so the whole drop is yours to color.
Questions and answers
How do you draw an apostrophe in bubble letters?
Pencil a short stroke high between the two letters, level with their tops. Draw a rounded outline round it, wider at the top than at the foot, then rub out the pencil. Page two of the set shows the four steps.
Straight or curly: which apostrophe is right?
Both. A keyboard types the straight one, a plain drop. Phones often type the curly one: five of these six fonts draw it as a comma with a tail, Baloo 2 as a wedge. After your first print, the second ready word shows both.
Can I print one big apostrophe to cut out?
Yes. Type an apostrophe alone in the box and press Print: the last of the three pages is a single large drop, big enough to color, cut out and glue above a poster heading.
