      This comment perplexes me. A direct link to the image? Why not either embed that link so the image appears here on Lemmy without clicking a link, or link to the comic page which has both the comic and the title text?

        Then there’s also the download then upload into the comment approach:

        Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.

          part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.

          Yes…that would be why you would link directly to the comic…?

            I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

              Of course, with an embedded direct link, you could put the title text in as alt text:

              Her daughter is named Help I'm trapped in a driver's license factory.

              Unfortunately that won’t always show up in the same way title text does.

              What are you talking about it was a crazy cool webcomic. Such a cool moment as everyone was scratching their head trying to figure out Randall’s genius.
