Screenshot of a multi-paneled cartoon with alt text superimposed over it, making the cartoon very difficult to view.

   This is an issue that I would love to see fixed, so when on mobile I could click an X or swipe and remove the alt text view. Long descriptions obliterate the image they’re meant to describe. I can read the cartoon description, but I can’t really see it.

   To be clear, I add alt text routinely. This isn’t a complaint about alt text, just how it renders on a smaller mobile screen.
