    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.

          Not to mention circumvents the purpose of alt. text letting those unable to see to know what’s going on in the image.
