LJ does offer the tools. LJ has date and tag-based archiving. The date-based views can be handled as calendars or topics-in-a-given-month. can be made to display one post at a time in the style of traditional webcomics archives. (If you go too far into the archives, LJ will attempt to set you paging through day by day even when there are no posts there, but the month view circumvents this.) Tagging allows for sorting by subject, arc (which Moruskine doesn't have, but others do), what-have-you. Tagging, of course, relies on organization at the creator's end, but this is true of any CMS -- and, ultimately, LJ still falls into the CMS rubric. What doesn't visibly exist is an S2 style dedicated to what many expect a webcomics site to look like, but that's not a failure on LJ's part. Rubbish. LJ does offer the tools.
