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.

Why do you keep responding with "needs accessibility"? What, precisely, is the remedy you're requesting on these comics? Transcripts?

There are a number of possible remedies, so I don't specify. All that matters is the result: web accessibility. Doesn't matter how text alternative is provided whether by

adequately filling field Alt Text in post submission/edit forms
setting the field URL to a source or archival snapshot that is accessible
providing an accessible description in the field Title or Body
beginning the field Body with a link (so it's directly adjacent to image) to an accessible equivalent or description

or any other possibility as long as it achieves accessibility.

In general, it depends on the situation. Screenshot of social media text content: link to the source or its archival snapshot. Image of pure text: don't post that, post text instead.

Thanks for the detail.

Probably that, I know on Mastodon people add a caption to pretty much every picture for screen readers, searching, etc.

It's pretty convenient IME and doesn't take much time. If that's what they're asking it's a decent idea but they need to be clear.

Agreed.
