ETA: Explanation: Sometimes the banner at the bottom will contain an actual (randomized) ad, but many of the comics have their own funny mock ad associated. (When I noticed this, I went through all the ones I had already read again, to not miss out on that content.)
(I thought I’d clarify this, because this comment got downvoted—possibly because the downvoter misunderstood it as sarcasm?)
Mouseover is javascript EDIT: or CSS and shows up when you hover your pointer over some trigger area. Alt text is plain HTML and shows up when the image (or whatever it is alt text for) doesn’t load.
No, mouseover is TITLE= and alt text ls ALT=. Mouseover doesn’t rely on Javascript. Alt text is specifically for putting in place of an image; it used to be used for mouseovers as well, but then TITLE= came in for that.
...oh crap, I’m going to have to reread the whole thing, aren’t I.
Nah, the wiki makes it much easier.
bahahahaha
And the mouseovers. And the alt text, which is different again.
And the mock ads at the bottom.

What’s the difference between a mouseover and an alt text?
Mouseover is javascript EDIT: or CSS and shows up when you hover your pointer over some trigger area. Alt text is plain HTML and shows up when the image (or whatever it is alt text for) doesn’t load.
How do you get alt text to appear if the image loads? Read source?
Yup.

There’s also title text (often called a tool tip) which appears when you hover the mouse over an image, but is a plain HTML feature.
Javascript is not actually required. CSS handles it.
