Adding transcripts for all of the comics

I'm wondering if it would be worth adding a transcript for all comics. Currently we have a transcript for The Naked and the Dead which has been split into sections, supposedly due to it's length, but I felt it could be worth making a transcript for the other comics as well. I feel this would be good for accessibility for users that have reduced vision, as well as potentially for convenience if users are trying to find a specific line, section or quote from the comics more quickly. Being able to describe some of what is occuring in a scene may also help people have a better understanding of what is actually going on in said scene as well.
I guess the main concern would be how much would have to be written for this, as both text and the actions depicted in the scene(s) themselves would need to be transcribed, but I'm partially just curious on if anyone would want this, or feel it could be useful.

Seems fine, just make sure to have all of them ready on user space before. Agreed with BrazilianNut, even though the longest movie is still (a) short :^)

I've created a transcript for The Insult That Made a "Jarate Master" Out of Sniper for the time being, which can be found here, if anyone wants to read it or feels it can be improved. I'll likely gradually work through all of the comics in their release order, but if anyone makes a transcript of their own please feel free to link/mention it here.

I don't believe I've linked it yet but, as an update to this, I've created a central page for keeping track of transcripts thus far. If anyone wants to make their own transcript or improve existing ones, do feel free to do so.
