I had too much fun matching an image to this post.

I've discovered via Project Wonderful that it isn't only advertising that's networking -- it's the act of advertising as well.
Promoting a web comic requires cobbling together a portfolio of sites that will host your ads. Many are quite small, with 50 - 500 visitors/day, so you visit a lot of sites as you shop. That's how I've discovered comics that eluded my radar, some comics blogs, a networking site for woman cartoonists and various oddities.
So far, I only host ads on one of my sites -- this one -- but presumably people are discovering my work as they shop for ad space. The more adventurous might tap into my network of sites.
