ComicA11y - An all inclusive online comic experiment. comica11y.humaan.com

This is brilliant:

ComicA11y is an experiment that aims to achieve an all-inclusive online comic reading experience. Because comics should be universal.

The demo at comica11y.humaan.com by Paul Spencer is a showcase of various techniques to make a digital comic accessible for all.

Playing around with the toggles underneath the comic strip reveals a range of enhancements that allow to consume the visual storytelling in different ways. The “comic” context aside, this is a powerful demonstration of how visual content can be made more universally accessible by some (progressive) enhancements.

My occasionally sent email newsletter has all of the above, and there is of course also an RSS feed or my Mastodon/Fediverse profile.
