Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Did not know SMBC features extra text, but in my defence I've linked the source
It would do you honour to link to the source, too. It is not that hard.
Ah, sorry. My apologies. Thanks for linking it though, that's great. I do recommend checking out the extra text (I think it's on every comic), it's sometimes better than the comic haha. Sorry again, I shouldn't have assumed you knew about them.
No worries, I've learned something new ๐
FWIW I checked the comic at SBMC and Im not sure what extra text they are talking about unless the author shared said extra text on a social network, but I don't see anything you missed from your source.
If you click on the comic (at least on mobile) the extra text comes up (on the site). I think there is some for every comic.
I did though. I do not see said text.
You gotta long press on the picture
Oh so its the unfurl description. Interesting, but maybe a little obtuse for most users to find.
Also doesnt show up on mine in the menu or on the share screen. Just when it unfurls in a chat.
But I use Fennec and /e/OS so likely a user experience difference.
You get to be one of todays lucky 10 thousand!
It's one of those holdover things a good number internet old webcomics do, including the linked XKCD. It's one of those things that's effortless with your traditional mouse-keyboard desktop setup, because you hover your mouse and magically the alt-text appears without having to really find it. But for new users in the touch screen era? As you say, yeah, definitely obtuse. :)
