xkcd with captions

I am a fan of Randall Munroe's xkcd comic. I read it on a regular basis and enjoy the mouseover texts that come with the comics, but those can't easily be read on mobile devices. So this website has an RSS feed which pulls out the text and places it under the image. The feed links back to xkcd.com. Enjoy. This page only shows the latest entries.
