Dear Kitty. Some blog 
Hey Kitty. I came across your comic through google’s image search and I liked it so much, I thought I should put it up on my blog and link back to you (this would help drive traffic and perhaps reinforce your position on google’s index). I have mentioned the name of your blog on my site as well, which is all about microfinance. Hope to see some other great posts in the future.
