Italian term or phrase: Pipetta.
Il testo è un intervista a un letterista.

Manualmente (parlo per la mia esperienza in XXXX) mi veniva fornita una speciale carta adesiva rimovibile su cui scrivevo i testi ricopiandoli dalla sceneggiatura; disegnavo poi attorno il baloon o la didascalia grazie a ellissometri o righelli, ritagliavo il tutto e lo appiccicavo sulla tavola disegnata; a questo punto non restava altro che fare la PIPETTA (ovvero quella "virgoletta" che dal baloon punta verso il personaggio che parla) disegnata con sbianchetto e rapidograph direttamente sul disegno.

Grazie.
