    did i hear people dissin alt text all up in here

    what is up with that
    Sorry! I mostly dont care about it.

    BUt I think it is bullshit to demand to be posted all the time and not that great really. Tripply so for three different versions.

    If you like it thats fine.

    Then don't post comics with alt texts. I'm never going to post a dinosaur comic because I dont really get the whole 3 alt text thing. But seriously, sometimes the alt-text is an integral part of the joke or comic, and saying "well they should just put it in the comic" is goddamned retarded.

    If a comic with alt text needs to be posted, post the alt text.

    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    Oh shit yeah, 3 is way excessive. I'm just talking about things like achewood, mcninja, and smbc where it is easy and almost always worth it

    By Garfield Master "Kitty" - See all my reviews
    i purchased this book, thinking it was another garfield book. I am a collector, and i just wanted a new garfield book to read.
    little did i know i was about to step into a world i don't want to know.

    THERE IS NO GARFIELD IN THESE STRIPS.

    WHAT?!??!?!?!? WHY???????????

    I guess it goes without saying i returned the book.

    don't buy it. the best part is missing.

    As for Achewood, if you're a subscriber you get the second alt text, but you have to actually order a print of the comic in question to get the third and fourth alt texts (the back of the print and the certificate of authenticity, respectively). The rest of the alt texts are only found in the anthologies, you'll either get the fifth, seventh and ninth alt texts or the sixth, eighth and twelth alt texts depending on the version you order.

    The SMBC alts are almost always great. I loved the "Here's just a naked drawing of me!" one.

    Also every picture I've ever seen of the SMBC guy is him making a kissy face.

    there is the title of the comic that you see if you get the RSS feed, and then when you click on the comments link, it brings up an email form and the subject line of that is the third alt text

    I think it is kind of sad that something that was meant as a nice easter egg can now be a chore.

    I remember when you only had to post one alt text for Dinosaur Comics, now you have to slog all over the site and sign up for things.
