We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

I don't know of a general answer, but for xkcd and other comics that I have in my RSS feed, when I view them using Flipboard the mouse-over text is added at the bottom of the image. Possibly a particular browser has addressed this, but I haven't really looked at many browsers.

There is an xkcd iOS app that shows the rollover text.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
If you view xkcd from its mobile site m.xkcd.com, there is an (alt-text) link next to the title of the comic. Tap on that, and the alt text will be displayed.

There's also an xkcd app. I have it on my phone.

wow, it's like we are all xkcd fans or something. Strange. Hmmm, maybe we should think about opening a thread for it.
