Center align is your friend
You might want to use a comic font like wild words

The typesetting definitely needs work. Some advice: never break words apart, and hyphenate them only if absolutely necessary, and only within the rules of how words should be hyphenated (you can look this up, but generally speaking it's only acceptable to hyphenate words in between syllables, but it's a bit more complicated than that).
Also, make sure words don't flow outside of text bubbles. You're likely going to need to reduce the font size. The biggest struggle with typesetting is fitting what was vertical text into horizontal shapes, so it might take a bit to find a consistent font size that works for everything.

I guess YMMV but I found that bubble shape is important enough to hyphenate as necessary. Your eyes naturally go back to the column where the line started, so it's important that the edges of the bubble text keep a line (rectangle, trapezoid) or an at best moderate curve (oval, hourglass). Very often you can make it fit well enough with different choices for line breaks, but don't be afraid of hyphenation (which you can check online if you're ever unsure).
That said, having one outlier in a bubble isn't going to mess everything up. Ideally one should neither hyphenate nor have annoying text bubble shapes, but the text isn't always ideal lmao
