Iain asked me "why do you put the email address on the bottom of some of your comics?" My answer is simple: when I write a comic about someone else I send them a copy of the comic, and just in case I write down the link to my website if they want to check things out.
The other reason I put the address of the website on the comics is when I make promotional posters. I put the address of the website on my comics cause it can be used as a promotional stunt, but mainly it's a form a signature.
Why am I explaining this now? Well for the first time I actually got an answer from someone I didn't meet in person, and of quite high profile. My comic #100 on my website is about the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, so I sent a copy to the creator of the church and got a reply. That was good enough to put a grin on my face, knowing that someone liked what I did and thought it to be topical. Bobby, the creator of the church thanked me for my contribution and said he would put the comic up on the church's website.

What is the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Well I do admit it is a bit of an intellectual underground movement, but I'll fill you in. In America, in the state of Kansas, home of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, a law passed: they had to put a sticker in front of biology books saying that evolution is just a theory and were bound to teach creationism as the other explanation of life on Earth... So as a reply to this, Bobby decided he would present the school-board with his explanation of life on earth, and to cut it short, he believes in a flying spaghetti monster. If the creationism gets into science, well then he should get to dress up like a pirate, right? It's a religious thing in the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
