I do not have a speech bubble option in Preview...

The latest version of Preview app from OS X Mountain Lion onward feature a couple of fun menu items that let you quickly add comic book styled speech bubbles to any photo. It’s extremely easy to use, but it’s also easy to overlook, so here’s how to use them to add some humor to any picture:

  • Open an image in Preview and click the “Show Edit Toolbar” button that looks like a square with a pen in it, or hit Command+Shift+A
  • Click on either the speech bubble icon or the thought bubble icon, then click and drag on the picture to place the bubble
  • Type what you want in the bubble, adjusting the font and size as desired using the Fonts panel

I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and version 6.0.1. (765.4) of Preview. What gives?
