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!

		April 9, 2003 Love the strip -- don't always agree with it, but I get it. I'm amazed that you would get drops for the Saddam Muppet strip. I thought it was great, especially considering the ludicrous posturing that the Iraqi regime continues to take. Difficult to find humor? Naw, it must be easy when they almost hand it over on a platter! Although the conspiracy theory part of me might wonder if John was simply practicing some misinformation on his own -- it seems too convenient that he quotes some 40% of the population having legitimate concerns, and then books. That sounds awfully overstated. Sigh. Oh well, use or edit whatever you wish from this rant -- I'm not looking to turn your mailbag into a flame war platform. I'll continue to keep enjoying the strip for probably as long as you continue keeping up the great work! --SteveD
		SteveD, what is the internet without flame wars? Worthless, we say! In fact, the flame war is the one true breakthrough of the world wide web. Forget all of this business-to-business and e-shopping garbage; what could be better than reading the slightly informed opinions of the unwashed masses?
		April 9, 2003 To answer your question, everyone's writing why aren't you? I have this to say... Oh, wait...I don't really have anything to say. I like reading your comics and you haven't offended me in any way. So keep up the good work! --Rookee alding
		We haven't offended you at all? Not even a little bit? We have to say we're disappointed, Rookee. Our goal is to eventually offend everyone at least once. Of course, it's going to be a little difficult to reach the 6 billion or so that don't read this strip, but we were hoping to at least get the tiny segment of the population that does read Rockwood.
		April 9, 2003 Thank you for including me in the mailbag. Now that I have reached people I didn't directly e-mail, I feel that I have reached a pulpit with a captive audience. While it doesn't match what Hollywood nitwits get, it nonetheless makes me feel more equal on the stage of free speech. Although the Oscars are over and probably no one cares about this windbag, should he ever again be allowed to be nominated in the documentary category? I mean, how much can you stage and edit and still come up with a 'documentary'? --DH
		Of course he should, DH. After all, you never know whether his next project will be unbiased or not. But even if it isn't, the qualification for best documentary has never been which film is most truthful, but instead which film best represents the filmmaker's point of view. In that case, it's hard to argue against Moore. He certainly knows how to get his point of view across in a two-hour movie. It's the two-minute live speeches where he comes across as a jerk.
		April 11, 2003 I nominate this for Haiku of the Week! ;) --Spike
		April 11, 2003 Hey, did you see Friday's Foxtrot? Even Bill's getting into the Haiku spirit! Now if it had just appeared on a Thursday, you could have claimed it as a shoutout! --Christina
		April 11, 2003 Fox Trot Haiku! Bill Amend is doing it too. 4/11 strip. (17 syllables in that line, though it doesn't break perfectly into three lines.) If I remember correctly Team Rockwood is fond of FoxTrot (must be the really fruity imac). Maybe you've inspired Bill? --Kyle Harr
		April 11, 2003 Hello. I just wanted to point out that Mr. Amend's attempt at Haiku for his Fox Trot comic contained one syllable too many. I wonder where he got the idea? No disrespect meant to Bill. Fox Trot and Rockwood are both great. It's just that Rockwood has cornered the market on Haiku. His Haiku should read: What are you writing? A poem for English class. Haiku? Seemed Fastest. --csljr
		So, do we have any Fox Trot readers out there? Anyone? Anyone? While we'd like to think that Bill Amend was doing a little shoutout to Team Rockwood, we don't really think he's spending a whole lot of time surfing down our way. And as for us cornering the haiku market, we have to admit that we kind of borrowed the idea from others who had haikued before us. But that's okay. No one person owns haiku. However, one person does own Haiku Thursday!
		April 14, 2003 wow....Al is just like me. The English paper's not due till the end of class tomorrow, so I can type it then. --Elizabeth
		Oh, Elizabeth, that's not a path you want to go down. First you're typing papers at the last minute, then you're writing papers at the last minute. And that all leads to complete failure in life and ending up as someone who doodles cartoons for a living. Go, Elizabeth! Do you homework! Make us all proud!
		April 14, 2003 Al and Mitch watching golf ? I thought that they thought it would put them asleep...(recalls soccer game) --The Raven's Mirror
		Perhaps, but sometimes you need a nap, TRM, and there's no better way to be lulled to sleep than by golf commentators. Sooooooo soothing!
