Text that shows up as a tooltip when you hover the mouse cursor over an image (or if you're using a cellphone, hold down your finger on the image) — or other elements on a page, even text — also known (more accurately) as "title text". Alt text has many uses; some Webcomics use it to display comments, credits, or additional punchlines. TV Tropes does have Alt Text capabilities, in the forms of the Pot Hole and Spoilers. Finishing a lengthy Archive Binge, only to find out you missed all the funny alt text, is something that hopefully will never happen to you. Alt text is inserted by defining the "title=" attribute of the image in the webpage's html or xhtml document. The actual "alt=" attribute has other purposes, though older versions of Internet Explorer would still display it as a tooltip, leading many authors to create alt text only functional in it. |

Sleepless Domain typically uses alt text for extra jokes. However, the alt text goes away almost entirely during the darker parts of the comic, namely when the Purple One, aka Goops appears on screen. The sole exception is Cassidy's Dying Moment of Awesome, in which she manages to stab Goops in the eye before vanishing. | |

Cyanide and Happiness doesn't use alt text, but the filenames under which each comic's graphical image is stored often contain hidden messages of their own. For instance, if you look at the comic for 13-July-2007, and right-click over the comic itself and choose "properties" or "save as", you'll see it has the filename assassinations-are-less-controversial-then-low-income-families.png. | |

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal The comic didn't use to have alt text but instead had and has a functionally similar votey comic, where mousing over (later clicking) the red button gives an extra picture with an extra punchline. It's like alt text for people too lazy to read. (But you still have to visit the website and thus give him ad hits. Clever.) The first few years didn't have votey comics, but the author starting going back and adding them. Several are about how he doesn't get the joke he wrote over ten years ago. In 2015 or so, it gained alt texts as well, which sometimes contain a joke but sometimes just name the comic. |

Dumbing of Age started having it on February 14th, 2013. The first altext was, appropriately enough, "what i can add HOVERTEXT???"

Homestuck doesn't ordinarily contain Alt Text (it would be highly impractical for its format), but a few updates starting here incorporate Alt Text in the banners. The Alt Text serves as the Author Avatar's voice while he parades through the banner in a quest to find the guy currently narrating the story and wrestle the narrative back from him. And then, starting here, we get to hear another character's voice for the first time. This is completely terrifying. | |

Irregular Webcomic!: Author David Morgan-Mar argues against them in this strip, a parody of xkcd. While using it anyway, because he's parodying xkcd, and wants to get it right. His previous xkcd parody featured a Take That! against alt text in the alt text, which read "Some text that's too long to display when you mouseover it in Firefox, thus forcing you to check the source code to see it". Which, of course, shows up as "Some text that's too long to display when you mouseover it in Firefox, thus forcing you to..." |

The Order of the Stick doesn't have actual Alt Text, but the comic titles often serve the function of the additional punchline, only making sense to the reader after the page in question has been read. Originally, the archive binger may have be somewhat confounded by the fact that the comic title doesn't display from the comic page itself, though the newest page title was always visible on the sidebar, and they were listed by title on the archive page. This was fixed in a 2021 site update, which put the title at the bottom of the page. | |

xkcd alt text is perhaps the most famous of the "extra punchline" genre; read the comments on the above fix for Firefox 2, and you'll find xkcd readers seem to be its primary market. The What If? spin-off blog initially didn't have any, although this changed soon after. Initially all the tooltips were simple descriptions of the images (but still using title= instead of alt=), but gradually between "Tie Vote" and "Steak Drop," they, too, became extra punchlines. |

Existential Comics has alt-text on most (but not all) comics, typically a second punchline. More "serious" comics, the early issues, and some at random don't. Humorous is also provided for most of the philosophers listed at the bottom of the page — clicking on their names leads to a page listing every mention of the philosopher in the comic. | |

Kill Six Billion Demons added Alt Text halfway through the first book, alongside having The Rant from the beginning. In contrast to Rants, Alt Text usually involves smaller In-Universe quotes, quips, in-jokes or youtube links to appropriate background music to the current panel. | |
