# Positioning a Balloon's Tail

Comic Life not only allows you place the tail's end point where you want, it also allows you to bend the tail's shape to a different shape in order to fit your layout better.

To position the tail's end point:

1. Position your mouse over the balloon.
2. A blue circular handle should appear at the tip of the tail.
3. Click and drag the blue handle to position the end of the tail.
