Rockwood: The Rockwood Mailbag.

The Rockwood Mailbag

Express yourself!

Have you always wanted to let Team Rockwood know just what you were thinking? Do you wonder why the panels of the strip are laid out horizontally instead of vertically? Or do you have sensitive documents that will bring down the government? In any case, we want to know! Just fill out your name and e-mail address, then let 'er rip! No question or comment is too bizarre for Team Rockwood to take a stab at, and if we can get enough mail coming in, this page will be updated weekly! (Unlike the old mailbag page, which got updated about four times in two years.)

So consider this an experiment in web interactivity. Or, consider it a way to artificially inflate our hit count. Either way, just write in!

		September 22, 2001 What were the puzzles you had about Evan Chan on your site? --John
		John, here at Team Rockwood, our policy has always been to not tell anyone. And although the movie that inspired the puzzles has now come and gone, we're sticking to our guns. Hmmm... if only there was a web site that could give you some kind of hint....
		September 24, 2001 Yay! You brought back Newt! Wow, I think this is the first episode where I've actually seen him. I remember him from the old character page. I'm glad someone mentioned Newt a couple mailbags ago... now we get to see ol' Newt in action! (Even if, perhaps, he's a hallucination. I guess we'll find out in Wednesday or Friday's strip!) --the JoshMeister, First to Solve the Secret Rockwood Puzzle http://users.aol.com/furballguy/RockwoodSecret.html
		Thanks, Josh! Josh, by the way, was not only the first to solve the Secret Rockwood Puzzle, he was also the first to make a web page about it. Ordinarily, obsession of this magnitude would have us reaching for a court order, but since Josh is several states away, we figure we're safe. In respect of all of Josh's hard work, we're still not going to give out the answers to our puzzles yet, but everything you need to know is on his page. We suggest you check it out!
		September 25, 2001 I like your strip. It's great. --Mikey
		Mikey is a man of few words, but he chooses them wisely. Thanks for the compliment, Mikey. And, by the way, we like your cereal.
		September 25, 2001 What the heck is the how the grinch stole thing that Trevor is blabbling about?? --Angic
		Many moons ago, back when Rockwood was still published on an old-world medium (paper), we did a Christmastime spoof of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Someday, you'll be able to read it yourself once the mythical Rockwood CD is released (once again, don't hold your breath). Until then, you'll just have to be content with the fact that they were easily the funniest strips ever. Try not to be too disappointed.
		September 25, 2001 I never see any of the characters outside the space station in a space suit. What is up with that, I mean if it were my space station I would want to make sure the solar panels were polished, otherwise Bill Amend might say something. Also good job bringing back Newt. --Matt
		Thankfully, space is pretty clean, so the solar panels on the outside of the station don't need much polishing. In fact, the outside of the station doesn't need much maintenance at all. It's sort of designed that way. However, you can expect to see some of the cast on the outside at some point, we just haven't really gotten around to it yet. Keep reading!
		September 25, 2001 Hey, I saw a few weeks ago you said you were making another push for syndication. I would love to help support your comic, where/who can I contact to put in a good work for Rockwood? --Jon-Wesley O'Hara
		Jon-Wesley O'Hara is our hero! And for all of the rest of you who would like to champion Rockwood to the masses, you'll get your chance. When we finally have something ready to go, we're not going to be shy about saturating the syndicates with Rockwood propaganda, including (we hope) the support of all ten or eleven of you who actually tune in each week. Okay, there might be few more than that, but it's not like we're approaching Kiss Army size (though Rockwood Army has a nice ring to it). In any case, have your fawning letters of praise ready by, say, the end of this year. Because it just might come in useful then. (Yes, that's a hint).
		September 28, 2001 Cool strip. Just thought I'd let you know I agree with your plan to stay funny, even in a disaster. BTW, if the station was bought by someone really rich, they wouldn't need to recycle the water - just pitch it over the side and get more shipped up. The shuttle does that on occasion when certain devices get plugged up. --Will
		While it's true that Skip does have enough money to constantly bring up new water, the actual logistics of resupplying hundreds of people (when the space station is at capacity) with fresh water would require that a constant stream of shuttles do nothing but bring up unspoiled H20. Sure it could be done, but just because Skip has a few hundred billion doesn't mean he feels the need to waste it.
		September 30, 2001 Yes, I'm among the legions of fans who noticed the link on Bill Amend's site and came over. Love your strip! I can't wait to see where you're going with the Bill Amendgiant space newt thing. Question: Why is Dana the only one who is seeing it? You'd think Kepler would be the kind of X-Files lover who would see stuff like that. Hmm... maybe Dana will convert a few people to her side, and the rest won't believe her, and the first space mutiny will start... --Minako
		Space mutiny? That seems pretty doubtful. After all, it's not like anyone is missing a quart of strawberries. As for Dana... who knows why she's the only one seeing it? She just happens to be a the right place at the right time. And though Kepler probably would be more interested in seeing it, he didn't. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
