      Ah, sorry. My apologies. Thanks for linking it though, that’s great. I do recommend checking out the extra text (I think it’s on every comic), it’s sometimes better than the comic haha. Sorry again, I shouldn’t have assumed you knew about them.

      FWIW I checked the comic at SBMC and Im not sure what extra text they are talking about unless the author shared said extra text on a social network, but I don’t see anything you missed from your source.

        If you click on the comic (at least on mobile) the extra text comes up (on the site). I think there is some for every comic.

              Oh so its the unfurl description. Interesting, but maybe a little obtuse for most users to find.

              Also doesnt show up on mine in the menu or on the share screen. Just when it unfurls in a chat.

              But I use Fennec and /e/OS so likely a user experience difference.

                You get to be one of todays lucky 10 thousand!

                It’s one of those holdover things a good number internet old webcomics do, including the linked XKCD. It’s one of those things that’s effortless with your traditional mouse-keyboard desktop setup, because you hover your mouse and magically the alt-text appears without having to really find it. But for new users in the touch screen era? As you say, yeah, definitely obtuse. :)
