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!

Billy's drawing himself! Dude, that's pretty twisted.

Never let it be said that we're without our influences.

You said you would update Monday's strip by tonight. It is now almost midnight (CST) and no new strip! Oh the agony! I can't wait any longer. My lust for Rockwood is multiplied by my necessity to laugh out loud! Oh where oh where is it....oh wait...I just hit the refresh button...nevermind.

--Leif
 

   
   
Remember kids, Rockwood is interactive! Sometimes you'll have to hit the "reload" button (yes, we know you're all using IE and hit "refresh," but we refuse to cave) to see the next exciting strip.

Glad to see you enjoyed your stay in the Pacific North West. Mt. St. Helens is something to see, yes? You should'a been here when she was belching ash every couple days for months before the big one.

Try any of the local micro brews? Lots of good ones around here. Come back anytime. Cheers,

--Matt in Vancouver, WA
 

   
   
Thanks, Matt, but we got plenty of ash just from hiking around it. And while we did actually drive through Vancouver on our way to Portland's airport, we didn't try any micro-brews. Some members of Team Rockwood were successful at a local casino, doubling their money at the blackjack table. However, other members made up for it by losing much more. All in all, a pretty good trip.

Thank Mom for asking about me. Don't tell anyone, but I'm out on plea agreement. I went to the local police station and did exactly as instructed. I used the passwords and I was shown to a cell, just like you said. I found the Fruit Roll-up on the underside of the mattress. I read it, committed it to memory and ate it (it had a VERY odd flavor). My manual must be out of date, since the Code phrase "Do not remove under penalty of law" was not listed. All my barking attracted the guard's attention and when he saw that I had removed the tag from the mattress and eaten the "Fruit Roll-up" I was moved to a Federal high-security wing in Alexandria, VA. As it turns out my cell neighbor there, John Walker Lindh had never heard of Rockwood before, so I tuned him in. He thinks its pretty good, but he said "it's not as good as the Taliban version of Mary Worth". No accounting for taste I guess. Anyway, omitting the details my lawyer says would void my plea agreement, I was released on bail after I testified at the super-secret House sub-commitee hearings on Muppet Anti-defamation, mattress tag abuse and other Un-American activities. Maybe you meant I should go to the the local COUNTY police office.... --Ken
 

   
   
The local police would have been correct, Ken. The devil's in the details. We don't recommend you try that now, however, as the information has changed. But don't despair! We've located a special site

that will keep you informed if anything changes. Stay in touch!

I couldn't help but notice the similarity between these two photos:

One and two.

Could this mean Team Rockwood has a hidden political agenda?

--Dale
 

   
   
Well, Dale, while we do have a hidden political agenda (we'd tell you what it was, but then it wouldn't be hidden, would it?), this isn't it. In fact, while we generally support W's policies, in this case we have to say no, no, no, no, no--good golly, no, Brian is not giving the "Hook 'Em Horns" sign. We root for the other side, also known as the winning side.

Is that Scrabble or Parchesi? I can't tell from this angle. Scrabble would be a good game for Team Rockwood..."Newt" and "dude" are good ways to get rid of low-value letters. --Hannah Orlove
 

   
   
It's neither, Hannah. Al and Kepler are playing Pente, which is sort of like Go, but easier and faster to play.

And your low-value-letter words will be noted. Team Rockwood members enjoy a good game of Scrabble when we can find people who like to play (it's not as fun online, where you don't know if the other side is rifling through a dictionary).

I was looking at the Bill Amend strip, and a thought occured to me: why don't you bring Bill back, or have you, Brian, move in with Bill? Well, I suppose that would lower the property values even more, as Skip would say...and what about Lance Bass in space? I don't think you guys capitalized off it. Skip could have invited Lance.

--Shadow
 

   
   
So, you've given us kidnapping or stalking as choices? Somehow we don't think Bill Amend would be particularly keen on either option.

As for Lance Bass, we don't think that story is dead yet. Be patient, oh shadowy one, and you might still see NSYNC in space yet.
