Archive Panic / Webcomics

Now sorted by page/strip count. All but 7 examples on this page have over 1000 pages/strips and a work page.

---

• mezzacotta. Here's the first strip. Check out the date on the URL. Over 3.6 quadrillion strips to read!!! If this doesn't inspire Archive Panic in you, nothing will.^note If you want to know how so many comics are possible, it's because they are generated by a fractal algorithm seeded from the "publication date".
• Kevin & Kell has been publishing continuously since September 1995, making it the longest running webcomic in history. It was weekdays-only for a while, but went to every day in the summer of 2000. The strip has had no break for 28 years, putting it over 9,500 comics in its archive. Bill Holbrook has made commentary about this frequently:
  • In lampshaded it in 2013, showing Rachel being exhausted by an archive binge (used for the main image of this trope).
  • And again in 2024 when it's noted it's easy to fall into a false sense of security about reading a webcomic only to realize this trope is in play.
• User Friendly has been daily since November 1997 and is now over 8800 pages long.
• Superosity has been running daily since March 1999 and has over 8700 pages.
• Jerk City Averted by the fact that, despite having started in 1998 and updated near-daily since then, the Noodle Incident humour, detailed tagging and lack of plot means the best way to read it is by hitting the Random button. Though there is the occasional sequential storyline, every strip still works as a total standalone. Now over 8700 strips.
• Sinfest has a little bit of continuity, although it isn't necessary to read all of the over 8200 previous comics to understand the current strips.
• Homestuck has concluded at 8130 pages as of 4/13, 2016. Its wordcount alone bests some translations of War and Peace without taking into account the visuals and frequent several-minute cinematic flash animations (the more important of these have been as long as 15 minutes) or playable flash game segments that can run anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours to completely explore. In addition, Hussie's sporadic but rampant update schedule and usual One-Man Army nature (since he does most of the work himself) means that by the time you catch up, he could have added any number of pages - he once claimed to be taking a break, and then updated eighty pages within the span of a week. It is worth noting that Homestuck actually has Save and Autosave buttons to return you to where you left off. It is also worth noting that, compared to nearly every other webcomic on this page, MS Paint Adventures is very new, only having started in 2007, yet had ranked up nearly 9,000 pages by 2014. To make matters worse, Homestuck starts very casually, and picks up speed after the first two Acts, which are easy enough to blow through rapidly. Thus, it is extremely easy to start reading in the evening or at night under the mistaken impression that it is easy to stop reading, and then look out the window and notice that the sun is rising. Most of that bulk of writing doesn't kick in until Act 5, whereupon to have any idea what's going on, you'll need to read about two thousand pages of dense content and sudden twists. What's even worse is that the comic is rife with foreshadowing and explanations which can be easily missed, so skimming often leads to having no clue what happened in already-confusing plot twists. Overall, this website provides an interesting analysis of MS Paint Adventure's total wordcount: the total number of words including transcribed flashes is 761,345, longer than the King James Bible, and when the images and flashes are converted into a wordcount (basically, the number of words it would take to communicate the same information in words) it reaches a whole 1,159,315 words, or 107% of the entire Harry Potter series. Now that's an Archive Panic! It's gotten to the point where its epilogue has a prologue.
• The Devil's Panties. A comic a day with rare exceptions since October 2001. Over 7600 strips.
• Sluggy Freelance consists of over 7300 comics, all of which (including the filler) are important to the plot. The comic started running daily since August 25, 1997. Including filler and guest strips (many of which are actually part of the plot), that comes out to 5355 strips at the time of this editing. It finally slowed down in early June of 2012, at least temporarily, to a less-than-daily schedule after a family health scare involving Pete's younger daughter and later Pete himself getting a horrible flu, which resulted in one week of pure filler followed by one week of no content (save for a guest sketch by his older daughter) and then the comic going onto MWF while he gets things back together, with plans to go to MTWTF rather than all seven days once things start to stabilize again. Lampshaded in this comic.
• Unshelved is a long running gag-a-day comic with over 7300 strips.
• Schlock Mercenary is a prime offender. A daily strip that hit twenty years in June 2020, it's amazing new readers keep coming to it. Mr. Tayler had never, ever missed a strip, even when his server blew up. He even once sold a fridge magnet warning about it. It ended with 7352 strips.
• The Mansion of E has been updating daily since 2003. Over 6700 pages.
• Phil Likes Tacos — started in 2002, hasn't missed a day since 2005. Now over 6700 strips. Good Luck!
• Least I Could Do deserves a mention, having run since 2003 on a primarily daily basis it's over 6600 strips.
• Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. Over 6600 comics. Though most of the earlier comics are single-panel and feature no continuity whatsoever, other than various running gags.
• PvP started in 1998 and is currently five strips a week rather than seven, but it still has over 6200 strips.
• Cyanide and Happiness is a long running gag-a-day comic with over 5900 strips.
• El Goonish Shive has a total of over 5600 strips consisting of over 3100 main story strips (practically all of which are canon), over 1400 newspaper style strips (some of which are canon) and over 900 filler strips (non-canon). No wonder it's Trope Overloaded. It's over 200 chapters (counting main story and newspaper style strips, though several of them have 10 or fewer strips). It's one of those things where once you get going you keep reading because you have to know what happens next. Fortunately, Dan puts reference links in The Rant.
• Legostar Galactica is a long running Sci-Fi Photo Comic with over 5500 strips.

• General Protection Fault is a long running Sci-Fi comic with over 5100 strips.
• Questionable Content has over 5000 strips, and most are of decent length, and the story is continuous (mostly), making it quite addictive. It's difficult to get through quickly since they're almost always 4-paneled, vertical, and all too often wordy.
• Square Root of Minus Garfield is a long running gag-a-day comic with over 5000 strips.
• Irregular Webcomic! has updated almost daily since 2002 and has over 5000 strips as of 2023. Writer David Morgan-Mar once boasted that he had overtaken Freefall in number of strips and had stated a goal of publishing at least as many comics as Calvin & Hobbes creator Bill Watterson: 3,160. At least you can read them five at a time.
• Requiem is a long running Sci-Fi comic with over 4900 strips.
• Sheldon is a gag-a-day comic with over 4900 strips.
• C'est la Vie is a long running life embellished comic with over 4900 strips.
• Scary Go Round. Six years of weekday strips as of 2008 or ten years of strips if you read all of Bobbins as well - and Scary-Go-Round essentially is Bobbins with a new title and a spruce-up. This is part of why John Allison started Bad Machinery (which itself is 1928 strips). While it is a sequel to Scary Go Round, you do not have to know anything to get into it. 1791 comics for Scary-Go-Round, 1249 for Bobbins, and 4968 for the Bobbinsverse as a whole.

• Supermassive Black Hole A* is a daily Sci-Fi comic with over 4200 strips.
• Misfile ended with 4106 strips.
• Dinosaur Comics not only has well over a thousand comics (now over 4000), but each is extremely wordy and contains little variation in art throughout. One of the most rewarding to get through but wholly unnecessary due to the lack of common plot.
• Freefall has been running since March 1998, on a three-strip-per-week plan (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), plus a very occasional bonus strip (usually shown in the archive on the same page as a regular strip). Passed 2,000 strips in 2011 (although a few fans considered it more significant when it posted its 2,011th strip in 2011). Over 4000 now.

• Drowtales had 3985 comics and had been running since 2001 before going on indefinite hiatus in October of 2022.

• Penny Arcade is a double-shot. Not only has it been updated three times a week for nearly a decade with over 3700 strips, Tycho has a blog post that explains what's going on in the strip.

All that, plus other miscellaneous updates in the archive that aren't part of those stories, bring the total to over 3700 updates as of September 2019.
• Nukees had been running continually since January 1997 updating mostly 3 times a week with 3794 comics until going on an indefinite hiatus in August of 2022. Good luck.

• Sam & Fuzzy has been running from 2002. Luckily, the author's archive page has a number of helpful links for new readers. Over 3200 pages.
• Girl Genius averted this for a while — it started out as a print comic before moving to the web, and Foglios eased new reader access considerably by including a "101 class" (which started from the beginning) and an "Advanced Class" (which started where the print series left off), and updating them concurrently. Then in June 2007, the 101 class caught up with the beginning of the Advanced Class, giving 101 readers and newcomers a couple years of panic-laden archive trawling to catch up on, promptly breaking the site for a few days. Over 3200 pages.

It quickly became It's Walky!, which ran weekdays for 5 years, followed by Joyce and Walky! and Shortpacked!. The latter ran every weekday from the beginning of 2005 to 2015; the former ran three days a week from 2005 to 2015, with only one out of every three of those strips for non-subscribers. If you want to read that archive, it's 10 years’ worth of reading and well over $100 in "donations." There are about 2800 freely available strips.
• Gunnerkrigg Court has over 2700 pages. What makes it more manageable is the fact that it's divided into chapters averaging around 25-30 pages each.

The fact that it's actually possible to read the entire comic in about 2 days certainly helps too.

• The Order of the Stick has over 1300 online comics. (This is not including the "bonus comics" included in the print editions, or the prequel books.) While this may not seem like much, keep in mind these are full-page comics with 12 or more panels each, and it's probably one of the wordier comics out there. And except for a few of the first 100 strips, every single strip is part of an arc and will contain important plot points, so it’s unwise to skip any. In fact, it is so dense and Troperiffic, it is one of the handful of webcomics that are not just Trope Overdosed but Trope Overloaded containing about quadruple the number of tropes to strips.
• Sequential Art has over 1200 strips. Plus with how easily the series jumps from Slice of Life comedy to full blown story arcs that can last for dozens of strips while also often introducing new characters, skipping ahead at any point can leave newcomers very confused.

• Magience was a Sci-Fi comic with 1031 strips before going on indefinite hiatus in 2021.
• 1/0 was a Metafictional webcomic with No Fourth Wall that lasted exactly 1000 strips.
• The Bravoman webcomic was the only ShiftyLook comic to reach 300 strips. As such, it's a significantly longer read than the other ShiftyLook webcomics, many of which never made it that far.
• Averted by the "first comic created specifically for web distribution", Argon Zark. It has been running since June 1995, still updates almost every year, and has a grand total of 78 strips as of 2020.
• Volklore averts this, in a sense, by running backwards, so that taking an Archive Trawl is actually moving forward in the story. The last known page (and thus the earliest in the story) can be found here. If it turns out that it only ever had 8 strips (which seems to be the case) then it averts this in the normal sense as well.
