No, there's no need. The fact of the tex= t being in separate panels is enough. In panels where a single person is sa= ying multiple sentences, they are separated with {.i}.

If a person said {coi}, and then 3 seconds later said {mi do nelci}, wo= uld you think they were talking to themselves about something you like?

I think we should. I always envisaged lojban comics dialags to be= a continous stream of text for each character speaking.

One might t= hink that there's an implicit {.i} at the begininng of a new balloon bu= t this would break some dialogue that uses multiple balloons for a single u= tterance (for example to show a different point of view in a new panel).
I once experimented with using ":" as an alternative ortograp= hy for {.i} (just imagine the initial dot and the small dot over the "= i" to be re-arranged in space) but it doesn't seem to have caught = on. There's an example here: http://www.loj= ban.org/tiki/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=3D751 .
