I love xkcd, but more than that, I love images of rowdy nerdy moms.

Is there often mouseover text? What else have I missed?

H,
whose faves are "Nash" and "3 hours of fascinated clicking later"

Every single xkcd has mouseover text. Sometimes it's just a comment on the comic, or an afterthought, but other times it's a second punchline that may be even better than the first. Now you have to go back and read them all :)

Someone at the talk at MIT asked Randall how many readers read the mouseover text, and I think he said probably less than 10%. I was surprised.

Also, if you use Firefox and don't already have it, there's a FF Add-on that displays the whole alt-text instead of truncating it. I think of it as the xkcd-Add-on.

Excellent. I was running into the problem last night. Where do I get it?

I use the "Long Titles" add-on in Firefox for precisely this reason. Umm, Tools > Add-ons, click "Get Extensions" link, search for "Long Titles", &c.

Cute. I think I knew about that, but I'd already trained myself to read xkcd in Safari (which is also what I use for LJ).
