The big concern is you create this awesome cartoon, and a week later it shows up on T-Shirts being sold by someone else, or on coffee mugs. Or in the case of one company that I've seen in Calgary on the side of a van as part of a companies logo.

This is honestly my main concern. Reading as much as I have on the comic industry and how often original creators got totally boned out of the huge profits from their work (Seigel and Schuster, Bob Kane, etc..), it does freak me out.
I think that even if the comic itself doesn't gain much of a following, I have a feeling my character will lend itself to stuff like this (ala Calvin peeing on things, which I know is done without Watterson's permission), so I would like to be protected against things like this before I make anything publically accessible.
