As of December 31st, 2020 Smackjeeves has closed. The site was a major pillar of webcomic culture, being one of the first webcomic specific sites out there and still pretty popular before it updated last year and caused a mass exodus from the site. The loss of this site is a tragedy with the variation of hosting sites slimming and the loss of many comics exclusive to the site.
Yo peeps! As many of you know, I keep my Library of all the webcomics I follow on Tagpacker. Tagpacker has been adding new features with the most recent being a way to exclude tags on searches! This is super cool cause that means you can sort out trigger warnings when looking for a new webcomic to read or any other thing you might not be interested in. All you have to do is enter in the tag to the archive search bar and click the dot next to the tag.
This is one of the two things I wish they had when I started using the site hence why I’m super pumped! The only thing left is to allow me to organize the order of the Tags and Tagpacks, cause not even the page counts are in order and it frustrates me. But this is still a big thing that helps me as a user and yall as searchers.
Hiya peeps! Today the Webcomic Library and the Aradia collective are collaborating on a reader discussion on Magical Girls! We’ll be working together to post one question a day over the week over Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram for yall to chime in on!
All the questions for this week have been posted to the Webcomic Library Discord as well. If you’re interested in joining in on the discussion in a more direct way or are interested in meeting and learning from more folks in the community feel free to dm me for an invite. We’d love to have you!
It’s an honor (and frankly a bit astonishing) to have so many people who want to read my story. I want to give particular shout outs to:
@lgbtwebcomicsfor sharing my poster and sending 100+ lovely people my way (please check out their listings of LGBT+ webcomics!)
@webcomiclibrary(The Webcomic Library has a huge catalog of webcomics to read and support!)
and @ironicallybadusernamefor reblogging every update that I post
Thank you to everyone who has sent me nice notes and encouragement and welcome to those of you who found your way here after the mess I made of ‘Go Fish’
There are still more 100 Reader Celebration Kissy Stickers available for anyone who hasn’t gotten one yet! At this time I don’t have any other free arts to give out BUT I am trying to work on something special as a giveaway for this milestone! Hopefully before 500 lmao
Hiya peeps! Today I got come new tags sorted out! First I added a new “contemporary” tag for all of your modern desires. Second I took the “Historical Fantasy” and “Historical Fiction” tags and combined them into one “Historical” tag. I’m hoping this will be good additions to our tag lineup to help you find the stories you’re craving!
[Image depicts Webcomic Library Tagpacker statistics with 6 following, 100 followers, and over 92 thousand views]
We also recently hit 100 followers on Tagpacker! I’m super happy people have been wanting to follow along with what new content is being added to the library and possibly be inspired to start their own collections!
Adding and updating content takes a lot of time but it is truly a labor of love. It brings me so much joy to look over all of these stories so fondly and know that this helps people find comics that will fill them with wonder and excitement. I always have so much more I want to do but I’m proud of what I’ve managed to accomplish here with all of you!

Do you create a webcomic? Submit your comic to the library by emailing me at webcomiclibrary@gmail.com
What started as a personal collection for my own personal reference and to recommend things to friends got turned into a blog and public database this day 4 years ago.
So much love and passion has gone into the library over the years. It’s become a huge part of my life and has changed me for the better. I’ve been able to learn so much through others and my own experimentation, read so many stories that both make me laugh and leave me in awe, and met so many people through the project with some I’d even consider close friends. I still have so many things I want to do with the Webcomic Library that I can’t wait to get to. I really hope you all with continue following the library along on it’s adventure. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or found it a few days ago thank you for supporting the Webcomic Library!
Hiya! First of all I wanted to give a huge thank you to you peeps! Over the past week I’ve seen more folks following this tumblr and interaction with the Webcomic Library database than I’ve seen since I put this project out to the public over 4 years ago. I’m blown away by all the love the library has been getting!
With all the new folks following I wanted to give a little update on what I’ve been up to. Back in January I finished my previous major project which was expanding the library to include print, subscription, and download exclusive comics. I actually started this project back in May 2020 but it took a while to enter in my full personal collection. With that integration done I’m hoping to continue adding more paywalled content to help promote those works and let readers know what they’re getting into before buying.
With all the support this project has been getting I’m itching to get working on the next major project on the horizon. Now folks who have been following my work for a while be familiar with my pervious masterpost series and know that I back away from doing them around this time last year. I’ve been missing them terribly but want to take my blog work a step upward. For the next step in the library I’m looking to make an independent blog space! I have a lot of ideas for what kind of content I want to bring to the table and I’m hoping you all will stick around to see the result!
This major project is currently slow going as I have other priorities in my personal life that need my attention and care but I’m hoping to get more things moving during the summer. In the meanwhile I’ve been regularly working in the background to add and update the Webcomic Library database. Currently I’m chipping away at an inventory of the “Genre” tag category. I have plans to edit and add a few tags during the process, including combining the “Historical Fantasy” and Historical Fiction” tags and adding a “Furry” tag so keep an eye out for that!
While I’m at it I also wanted to promote the Webcomic Library Discord! We’re approaching 300 members strong now and hold events regularly. This month we have the following events going on:
Comic Cafe Day: Fridays
March 8th-12th: Creator Workshop on Script and Thumbnailing Processes
March 22nd-26th: Reader Discussion on Magical Girls In partnership with the Aradia Collective
End of DTIYS Art Challenges!
We have plans to introduce some new, fun art challenges next month. We always have something interesting going on whether it be new art to interesting discussions about the webcomic community. If you’re interested in getting more involved with the community feel free to dm or email me for an invite.
Thank you all again for the support! I’ve been having so much fun reading and being a part of this amazing community and I hope I can continue helping bring readers and creators together!
