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!

Now, admit it: Chavez was going to be the next guest at the space station, huh? ;)

--Spike
 

   
   
Absolutely not! We abhor Chavez's repressive regime, that takes rights away from its citizens and...

What's that? He's back in power?

Of course, what we meant to say is groovy! Smashing! Yay, Chavez!

You'll enjoy "Bizarro" today.

Heh. Apparently, Moms always do know best!

Hey, are Al and Mitch disappointed "Ally McBeal" has been cancelled? (I'm not. Most of the first season was kind of clever but after awhile Ally's whiny little size 0 I'm so miserable attitude gets so annoying. I was happy when they killed of Billy. I like Gil Bellows so much more on "The Agency".)

--Mikki
 

   
   
No, Mikki, Mitch and Al weren't disappointed at all, owing in large part to the fact that they never watched Ally. They had other priorities on Monday nights.

Hey...your cartoon does not fit on my screen!! Does the Mac have a different size screen than others?

--Alyce
 

   
   
Nope. The screen sizes are the same, it's just that the colored Sunday strips have to be wider to be legible.

However, Macs are different in their gamma correction capabilities. That's why the pictures on the Olympic Watch page look dark to all of you PC users. Fortunately, this can be easily fixed. Heh heh...

I notice Mitch and Al seem to be playing some version of the "West Wing" drinking game, but they're doing it all wrong: Basically, it's simply one drink every time a character says "Yeah." -- this will get you totally passed-out drunk even before the opening bit before the opening credits is done, and thus you don't actually have to see any of the rest of the show.

Your dialog is a bit untrue to the show in that there is only one "yep" -- not even a true "yeah", or "yah" or "ya". Thus Mitch and Al, in your cartoon, should only each have taken a half sip of their drinks.

--Karl Wagenfuehr
 

   
   
Yeah, Karl, you're making some good points, but you're also assuming there is only one version of drinking game associated with "West Wing." In fact, if you followed some alternate rules while either watching the show or reading Monday's strip, you'd be equally hammered in about the same amount of time.

What?! You're dissing West Wing?! Hey, it's one of the few halfway decent things on TV! Why not insult some other show?

--Lemon Ly....never mind.
 

   
   
Because nobody watches that other show, LemonLymon-ator. And, it's such an easy target. Yes, it's halfway decent, but the facts are that Aaron Sorkin hasn't really changed his writing style since his last show (try applying this drinking game to "West Wing" and see how closely it holds up). And to be honest, sometimes it's a little tiring. Besides, if we were going to throw our puny weight behind a show, it would have to be something more original than people walking endless circles around the interior of the White House while repeating each other's sentences.

Yea, I love colour strips, they rock, yahooo

--Matt
 

   
   
We're glad you like them, Matt, and...

Wait!! Did you say "yea?"

Everybody drink!!
