As part of its original sequential art offerings, each month tor.com will be bringing you a new A Softer World strip, by the inimitable Joey Comeau and Emily Horne.
There are years worth of classic strips here, but this one is ours.

Love this! :)
Could someone let me know the whole altText? It gets cut off for me. :(
“Turns out it was more like bees and flowers than birds and bees.”
In the future, you can try this:
Click View>Page Source (Ctrl+U in windows firefox)
Alt-text will show up in there. Just do a search for a unique word in the alt-text you can see.
The AltText gets chopped off for me too. I think it happens in IE (7 or 8). They should look into it. Fun comic though.
Yeah, wonder why the alt-text gets chopped off. I’m using Chrome, but it does it in Firefox too… (Of course nothing actually to do with the awesomeness of the comic. =P)
That’s because it isn’t Alt-text. It’s some kind of custom Javascript tooltip. For the alt-text problem (on sites like xkcd), there used to be a FF extension upto FF2.x but since FF3, it hasn’t been necessary (at least I don’t see it in my addons anymore :)).
As for the javascript bug above, it’s human error :).
Guess what? It’s 49 characters up to “than_”. So, to the coders I humbly suggest that they merely set that number … erhm… high!
Good comic though – my first time! I’ll be lurking on here more frequently now =D.
I love this strip! It’s one of the comics I have bookmarked for (nearly) daily reading
