I guess you could use a flat TMD object and tilt it back.  The trouble is
it's a lot of stuff to learn just to do the one effect.... you've got to get
a 3D object going and (by the sound of what you want) change it's texture
during game play.  Easy-ish once you've done one, but it's getting it going
initially which will be a bit fraught.  The speach bubble would probaby have
to be made of a few polygons (or one automatically partitioned) because the
PSX texture mapping is a bit poor from some angles.
