Reading the comic and reading the exact same words as captions below it was a little annoying.

I hope those were included for accessibility, but think they could be added as an ARIA attribute.

The text in the bubbles may be too small to read on mobile devices, which is why I've added the same text at the bottom of the image. I'm aware of the issue, so I can remove the text for desktop browsers.

The figcaption could just be moved to the alt text. The redundancy serves no purpose to anyone, and the page would be better for it.
