I think that this is great, and I'm definitely excited to use this for my blog posts in the future.
That said, I am hoping you bring on a few dozen of your peers because right now your comics are heavily weighted towards certain categories. Diversity would be a huge asset.
My only suggestion is that you make the images on the "View all" substantially bigger so that you can scroll through all of them and read the captions without squinting. I found myself using the back button a lot.
As you may have seen in some of the comments here and on the article, people are requesting a subscription option (eg, pay $xx per month to use up to N cartoons each month). Would you pay for something like that?

Good insight, and I completely agree. That is why I brought onboard a second cartoonist, and will be inviting more soon. Within the next month I hope to double the amount of cartoons, and then 10x it the following month.

Thanks for that suggestion. I always wondered what's an ideal size to make the thumbnails, and whether to allow page scrolling (next/prev when you're on an individual cartoon page), but this is the first time someone's mentioned it. So now it's definitely on my to-do list.
I suspect that a subscription system would make some very happy, but I'm an informal blogger and I'd prefer to pay a bit more to use them when I need them.
As far as feature requests go, I suggest keeping it super simple for a little while until you get a sense of which ones are "I have an idea" vs. "I can't use this unless".
