MODERATORS
When speech passes over a line break it's common to have it like this. It's odd because it's separated into separate boxes, but in paragraphs this is acceptable.
Maybe, but it won't compile.
Kind of a comics faux pas - the white text box should itself indicate it's a quote. In a book, punctuation has to do the heavy lifting for formatting but in comics, you have a lot more freedom visually.
Not necessarily, the white box could be narration, no?

God how many times do we have to go over this, it's potato not potato!
:P
Yeah they need to be, when going across paragraphs you leave the first set open, then open and close the second set. The first set then leads into the second.
Like so:
"The quotation opens on one paragraph," the commenter explained, "but is sufficiently long that it needs to span over more than one. The quotation marks do not close at the end of the first paragraph.
"The quotation resumes on a second paragraph, with a corresponding open quote mark. Once the quotation is complete, the mark is closed at last."
Yes, the quotes on later paragraphs is to remind the reader that Gandalf is still speaking and weaving his long tale about getting captured by Saruman and rescued bt the eagles, oh and that Saruman is a player in Sauron's bid for world domination.
