You should just be able to set a white fill on the tail shape, as long as you've drawn it as a V rather than 2 seperate lines.

Hi,
I have an issue with creating the tails on word balloons for a comic with Inkscape. Keep in mind I'm a brand new user, so I'm sure the solution is a simple one.
I use the ellipse tool to create the word balloons themselves, and I use the Bezier tool to create the "tails" to/from the balloons. My problem is that I'm creating the word balloons and tails *on top of* art (utilizing the Layer tool), and I can't find a way to fill the tails solid with white, to prevent the artwork from showing through. I understand how to fill the ellipses themselves and keep them solid, but the tails I can't seem to figure out. Can someone help?
Also, I'm completely open to pointers, so if you do something differently than what I described, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
