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!

		June 30, 2003 Rockwood Quote Brian's pretty sure he could take you. Heh. Anytime spaceman...anytime. --Leif out
		Okay, Leif, just know what you're up against. (WARNING!!! This is a LARGE file--about 4 MB! Those of you with 56k modems are going to be here a lonnnnnnng time if you click this --and yes, Brian is wearing red.)
		July 1, 2003 You should check out this website for fun info on throwing things from space towards Earth. --CsLjr
		Excellent, CsLjr! And just to show that we know a little about orbital dynamics, notice that we never say we push anything down to the atmosphere. We actually have to push it backwards!
		July 2, 2003 "Rockwood News. Monday, July 1, 2003" Methinks you need a copy editor. You updated the Mailbag on Tuesday, but didn't update the date! Tsk, tsk. --James
		It's worse than that, James. We actually DID update the date, but we didn't update the day (July 1 was Tuesday). With accuracy like this, soon we'll be demoted to working somewhere where details aren't important.
		July 2, 2003 No-one can over-heat just one! Arrggh! The puns! --William
		Yeah...we were really chipping away at good taste on that one.
		July 4, 2003 In regards to the July 3 comic, How satisfying is the bang of a bag of potato chips in the vacuum of space? --John Moseley
		Aurally, not satisfying at all, John. We were referring to definition number three, for the sheer visual excitement of watching a bag of chips explode. And now that you mention it, even that might not be that exciting. But it's better than some other things you can try with potato chips.
		July 7, 2003 What is green beer and does it have the same effect as snorting tequilla? --Keith
		Good God, let's hope not! Green beer is a Norman Engineers Week tradition, drank at the Fluids Dynamic Lab, otherwise known as O'Connell's. As for snorting tequila, we're pretty sure that's supposed to go in the mouth, dude. Although, it probably would clear out your sinuses.
		July 7, 2003 Just one comment on Monday's strip... Bahahahahahahahaha!!!! Well done! --Christina
		That's actually two comments, Christina, but thanks just the same.
		July 7, 2003 Dear Sir: I am afraid that I cannot allow your continued challenges to the work of Bil Keane and "The Family Circus" remain unchecked. Really, it's funny if you have children. Really. Okay, amusing. It's amusing if you have children. While I understand that "The Family Circus" loses it's appeal to those readers who either (a)do not have families, or (b) are between the ages of 6 and 8 years of age and enjoy tracing little Billy's madcap antics through the single-panel neighborhood in dashed lines, please allow me to take this opportunity to make the Rockwood editorial staff aware of Mr. Keane's more obscure work. I think you'll find some of his WWII work particularly interesting and sometimes poignant. That is all. --Dr. Zira
		Actually, we've linked to weird things on Bil Keane's site before. However, his past work being funny just emphasizes the fact that his new stuff isn't. Team Rockwood's objection to TFC isn't that it's kid-related, it's that it isn't funny. There are other kid related cartoons that are better. And getting rid of that stupid circle on every comic page in America would free up some space for better single panel comics.
