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.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
doesn't work with xkcd cartoons.
Hos did you know that's what I was looking at, omnis?

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.

I am thinking of joining the world of the iphone. I will probably be using verizon, because the person I call/text the most is on verizon.
Considering I have wi-fi at home, work, and theatre, but I go on the internet for 2 hours on the bus, do you think 2G of data will be enough. I probably won't stream video on the bus, as it will cause people to talk to me.
