Some folks with visual impairments have enough eyesight to enjoy visual gags, but still use screen reader software, so including the digital text makes it easier for them to read captions in the image. Screen readers with optical character recognition can still fumble with handwritten fonts or poor contrast/alignment, so copying the text into the post discussion improves redundancy for readers.
