See the titles (aka alt-texts) in the Twokinds archive! [userscript] [obsolete]

The title texts are now in natively on the main site, so there's no longer any need for this.

Well, if that isn't just about the most unwieldy subject ever...
Here's the one thousand words:
Genuine artisinal comic title texts, as crafted by Tom himself (though there may have been some damage in shipping.) Coverage: ~392/~450 (2009 and 2010 are very spotty, complete from October 2010 onwards)
A big thanks to RobbieThe1st! I sourced most of the title texts from his scraped metadata.
What do:
If using Firefox, you will need the Greasemonkey extension.
If using Chrome, you will need the Tampermonkey extension. (Though manual install might also be possible.)
If using Safari... I don't actually know, you tell me! NinjaKit maybe?
After you have that sorted, simply navigate to this here link: re-title.user.js
It should show you info about the script and prompt you to install it. It's really simple, so it's pretty easy to eyeball-verify that it's benign, even if you're not much of a programmer... but since it's going to automatically update by default, you need to trust me to not be up to anything evil. (Or you could disable automatic updates for the script in greasemonkey or tampermonkey.)
After that, you should be sorted. If you're on a touch device of some sort and can't read the title texts easily, it should also show it as a caption if you touch and hold the image, like so:
Between working mostly blind and how standard the standards typically are, I'd be shocked if the touch stuff works for everyone, but if not, do complain and I'll try to figure it out. (And I'm not at all sure touch-and-hold is the best way here; if it's unwieldy, suggestions are welcome.)
Now go forth and reread some Twokinds!
