Mainly, it's to prevent letters from running together. All capital letters are exactly the same height. But some lowercase letters have tails that project below the baseline: g, j, p, q, and y. These tails can overlap letters on the line below, making the text difficult to read. You can prevent this by spacing your lines of text farther apart, but that means fewer lines will fit inside your word balloon. By using all capitals, you can space lines closer together, and fit more words in a balloon.

Comic strips are traditionally written in all capital letters to make the text stand out and easily readable within the limited space of the small speech bubbles. The use of all caps also helps convey the tone and emotions of the characters more effectively, as it gives a sense of emphasis and emotion to the dialogue. Additionally, the uniformity of all caps can contribute to the overall visual aesthetic of the comic strip.
