- millisecond 6y agoThere’s also m.xkcd.com if you tire of hovers.
- gpvos 6y agoOoh, thanks; useful when I'm using my phone (as the m indicates, obvs), which truncates hover texts.
- saagarjha 6y agoEarly betas of iOS 13 actually used to do this and xkcd was explicitly brought up as a reason to not truncate ;)
- zzo38computer 6y agoThere is also explainxkcd, which displays the title text underneath the picture, and has categorization, searching, explanations (in case there is anything you forgot, or do not know, or just want to read other people's commentary), transcripts (helpful for search, and also to copy the text), and more. Additionally, if you have user CSS in your browser, you can force it to display the title text even in the official xkcd web pages (CSS has a command to display the text of HTML attributes).
- spanhandler 6y agoNot the only comic that puts a bonus in the img tag alt text—I think Wondermark does, and I wanna say that at one time SMBC did that and had the red-button extra panel, both, and it may still. I always check for it when I find a new webcomic, now.
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoSMBC still does both.
- saagarjha 6y agoUnfortunately the older comics didn’t get alt text, although many got the extra panel afterwards.
