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!

		March 26, 2002 Oh, come on! Of course you can make it to the Summer Games in Athens in 2004! Granted, it's not as easy to drive there, but the European Olympic coverage will be worth it. BTW, the BBC's coverage this year won hands down over NBC - no fluff, and commercial free! (My only complaint was that they focused a little too much on curling, but Britain got her only gold medal out of it, so I suppose that's understandable.) --Christina
		Well, Christina, if we actually went to Athens, it really wouldn't matter how good the coverage was, because we'd be there in person, not watching on TV. But we believe you completely when you say the BBC was better, if for no other reason than they didn't have Jimmy Roberts cluttering up the broadcast.
		March 26, 2002 Um...I don't think Jerrold meant Earth when he talked about Enron going down to a not-so-nice place. I think he meant even lower, if you catch my drift. --Samm
		A not-so-nice place? Even lower? Oh no! You don't mean... Egad.
		March 29, 2002 Halle Berry vs Sharon Stone? You got to be kidding me? Which Oscars have they been watching on the space station? I guess not the ones to which Gwyneth came. -Oscar watcher
		Sorry to disagree with you, Oscar Watcher, but we think Gwyneth looked like a goth Cabbage Patch Kid stuffed into a pantyhose top sans support. Also, in that same picture, we think Steve Jobs needs to suck it up and buy a tie.
		March 29, 2002 Dear Abby, My girlfriend of two years recently left me for an younger man. I can't get over her and I'd just love for my message to get out. I LOVE YOU Nina! PLEASE COME BACK! Thanks for your help Abby. I've always trusted your coulumn. ....this is Dear Abby isn't it? --Mark Trenton
		You caught us, Mark. Team Rockwood has been ghost writing for Dear Abby for years. Her "daughter" is just a cover for our superior writing skills. As for your problem, now that you know the truth about us, we can be a little bit more proactive than just our standard "get counseling" answer. Let's just say that this "younger man" is no longer in the picture. You can thank us later.
		April 1, 2002 G'Day, I must object to something I just noticed on your outstanding 2002 Rockwood calendar. One of the strips for April talks about how much it sucks to lose the hour of sleep in the spring forward. Down here in Australia, we just "falled back" and gained the hour of sleep (in March, too). Is there any chance you will put out a Southern Hemisphere version of next year's calendar so it's correct for us? Also, I missed Groundhog day because it wasn't listed. Other than these minor problems, I think the calendar is outstanding, as are all your daily strips. Keep up the good work! --James Montgomery
		Thanks, James! Groundhog Day will definitely be on next year's calendar. We're kind of embarrassed we missed it this year. As for a Southern Hemisphere edition, don't hold your breath. We have enough trouble putting together the Northern Hemisphere version. Besides, we just don't understand some of these Aussie holidays.
		April 1, 2002 In. (you said write in and maybe I could be in it...though I'm probably the 239th person to do this) --Mikki
		Actually, Mikki, you're the first to take us that literally. And for the next 238 of you, don't think that by following Mikki's example that we're going to reward you for your clever literal abilities. Only the first person to do it is clever.
		April 1, 2002 I've notices that in the iMac story Will's paper says "Osama wears woman's clothing." It took me about 5 weeks to figure that out. Keep up the good work! --Paul
		Hopefully you've been doing something else in that five weeks, Paul. But your detective work is correct. After all, it's fun to tweak Bin Laden.
