could the interval be calculated in function of text length?
(btw, in most cases, a long text in a tooltip pretty much signals a poor ui 
choice)

in this case the tooltip matches how they are on the web such as xkcd having a 
tooltip as a description, but besides keeping that, i would put the full 
description also as a text under the comic in the full view on a separate 
window, just under the image
