Your comments about Falstaff describe a situation similar to that of Zig Zag.
She was an image, featured mostly in erotic art, with no particular personal interaction as far as I can tell. Then, her incorporation into "Sabrina Online" turned her into a person. The audience saw a personality -- a very interesting one at that.
Still later, it seems, her own story at ZZStudios has now provided her with a life, and among other things a forum full of people speculating on the psychological motivations that drive her life -- rather like your own forum, in fact.
You are not just drawing pictures, obviously... you are creating lives, and it is this aspect that grabs and holds your audience.
Speaking of your audience, it is particularly annoying that the Keen forums are still out of commission on WebComics Appreciation Day. Bah!
