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!

		January 7, 2002 I love it! Would Apple's new iMac be better named 'iLuxo'? --James Q. Stansfield
		January 7,2002 You know what? You are good! The whole new iMac playing with the ball like the lamp at the beginning of Pixar movies thing. I mean I instantly got it as soon as I looked at it as I'm sure everyone else did - but to think of doing that! Nice going. I am very impressed and have just added you to my web browser's coveted links bar. Keep up the good work. --Leo
		January 7,2002 Thank you, that was a perfect commentary on the new product announcement. --Shawn Lavin
		The real credit in this case goes to Time Canada, whose early-release slip-up, intentional or not, allowed Team Rockwood to get an early peek at the new iMac.
		January 9, 2002 I'm surprised you haven't gotten a nasty letter from Disney to cease and desist with the Pixar lamp-like iMac. But it is awfully cute! --Holly
		January 9, 2002 Hey!!! What's with the tribute to Disney?! You know what I'm talking about! That whole computer balancing on a ball thing. Explain! Now! --Joe Daily
		Ha! Disney knows better than to mess with us! The House of Mouse doesn't scare us in the least. Nor do they impress us enough for a tribute. "Luxo, Jr." was created by Pixar years before Mickey and Co. incorporated them, and until Disney acquires Apple, the connection here is to Steve Jobs, not to old, frozen, Uncle Walt.
		January 11,2002 "He's no good as a server." AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! Perhaps, along with Haiku thursday, we need a Bad Pun Friday. Or did that already happen? --Skid
		Frankly, if we had it in us, it would be bad pun day every day. The thought of people across the world cringing as they read their daily pun puts smiles on our faces.
		January 7,2002 Hey, I just started reading the strip, and it's great. Do I detect more than a bit of Bloom County influence? --Geoff
		Influence?! Why, at times in the past, we've blatantly ripped it off! Really, though, the question is a bit silly. Asking a modern-day cartoonist if he was influenced by Bloom County is like asking a musical artist if he was influenced by the Beatles. It's a given.
		January 8,2002 Well, I don't have any sensitive documents to bring down the government, but I'd appreciate others sharing theirs. --Osama (topleader@alqueada.org)
		No problem! Here's a link detailing just how to bring down a government. Enjoy!
		January 11,2002 Ha! hahaha! mwahehehe! Well, I've left the secret page and read thru your archives, and boy are you funny! I just can't stop laughing. Everyone else in the library is looking at me weird. --Ryan
		Well, Ryan, that's understandable. They don't know what you're reading. We suggest next time that you read every strip out loud. Then everyone else will be able to join in your laughter. Good luck!
		January 11,2002 So, will you guys being an Olympic Deathwatch for the Salt Lake City games? --Lareen
		No. And maybe. It's undecided really. The fact is that members of Team Rockwood are actually going to Utah for the Olympics this year, so a complete, detailed account of how much of NBC's TV coverage is fluff will be impossible. We haven't completely ruled out some sort of daily report from the Olympics themselves, however, we're not sure what our schedule will allow. By the way, if you live in Salt Lake City and can spare an extra room for a week in February, let us know! We'll bring you a signed copy of the 2002 Rockwood Calendar (still on sale!) as a trade.
		January 7, 2002 Dear Everyone: In the spirit of the New Year, we've come to our senses and realized that we owe everyone an apology for making Pearl Harbor.� Apparently, many schoolchildren now believe Pearl Harbor was all about a tragic love triangle involving men who sound like Elvis and a woman who looks very nice in red lipstick.� To correct this error, we've distributed tapes of Tora! Tora! Tora!.� We hope this will succeed in re-educating our young people, who now believe the Japanese were right to attack, if only to get rid of Ben Affleck. Oh, yes, we'd also like to apologize to our brave women in the Armed Forces.� Our film may have left the faulty impression their primary reason for joining the Armed Forces was to meet cute guys.� The truth is, we don't actually know why they joined the Armed Forces, as we didn't bother to ask anyone.� But they sure look pretty in nurses uniforms, don't they? Finally, we'd like to apologize to the Japanese.� We didn't really need to show that Kamikaze pilot preparing for his ritual in his loincloth, but we felt that it was a bold choice that supported the film in the long run.� Actually a much bolder and more appropriate choice would have been to have Ben Affleck's character horribly disfigured early on in the film.� We thought we'd save the risky filmmaking for Spielberg. Besides, Affleck can't really emote properly under too much makeup. As reparations, we've decided to spend .0001 percent of the profits of our film to purchase Rockwood calendars to support this site.� Unfortunately, we're currently vacationing in the Alps.� Don't suppose you accept Euros, eh?� Maybe you could spot us a few greenbacks. Regrettably, Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay
		Team Rockwood would be perfectly willing to accept Euros, if Bruckheimer and Bay could be reasonably expected to spend them. However, their last film was such a bomb that it's clear that they can't. Besides, we'd feel guilty taking $15 from Bay and Bruckheimer. With that kind of money, they could buy the script for "Pearl Harbor" three times!
