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!

		July 16, 2003 Hey, since you're in Norman, I thought I'd give you a tip: On Saturday night at the Opolis, (at least) two bands will be performing: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Yeti. You should at least marvel at the inventiveness of the name of the first band. :-) --Damon
		Thanks, Damon! The only problem with your information is that Team Rockwood was out of town at the time. Hopefully next time someone recommends a Norman-bound band to us we'll be here. For now, we'll just trust that Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Yeti put on great shows while here. At least, we will unless someone tells us different.
		July 17, 2003 Rockwood should not print your rhymes because they are stupid self-evident in my offering even though I did it wrong because it is syllables, not words, dummy trying to break the rules here is hard but I just did it so you can stop reading --moxicide
		Uh... okay. We have no idea what that was all about, but we found it fascinating.
		July 20, 2003 I leave for 2 weeks and Haiku Thursday dribbles down to nothing...well, I'm saving the mailbag right now, and I'll try to save Haiku Thurs. in a little bit. --The Raven's Mirror
		No offense, TRM, but it's going to take more than just you to save Haiku Thursday. After all, it's not "The Raven's Mirror's Haiku Thursday." It belongs to everyone! So come on people! We want to hear from all of you!
		July 25, 2003 Flin Flon is my hometown... hahah... love your comic. Hope you enjoy the Flon..... what the heck are you doing there? Cheers! --Terrance Lam
		Amazing, Terrance! Judging by the number of cars we met or passed on our way to the Great White North, we were beginning to wonder if anyone actually lived up there! But to answer your question, we went up near Flin Flon (we never actually made it to the town, eh) to either cause fish pain or not cause fish pain, depending on which news story you choose to believe. We don't pretend to know which is correct, but we do know this: Them Northern's be tasty eatin'!
		July 26, 2003 My unearned accolade notwithstanding... I present: rhopalic Rockwoodcomic Is switching OSes demonstrating defenestration? Team Rockwood embodies superior intellectual comic-entertainment: Skip employs orbital mechanicly reeducated geostationary extraterrestrialists. Will Rockwood remembers presidential misaspirations. Al watches satellite television copiously. For Dana, wellbeing predominates, While Kepler's youthfulness attenuates poindexterism. KHAN harbors Agency nihilism. Newt sightings diminish isolation psychologicly. ....Was Mitch's melanin augmentation desegregation? Make haiku rhopalic? Absolutely inconceivable mathematically! --Karl Wagenführ
		Hmm...maybe we should start a Rhopalic Saturday... Nahh! Nonetheless, thanks for the effort, Karl. With the amount of poetry now flowing around Rockwood, it's just a matter of time before someone composes an epic and puts us out of business.
		July 28, 2003 En route to looking something up, I found this site: I looked and looked, but didn't find Brian Lundmark/Rockwood anywhere. However, I did find Bil Keane: You're in luck as he mentions he likes satires of his comic (and admits they might be funnier than the original thing). Most of the questions were really fawning, but I liked the one that mentioned that they had never laughed at a Family circus cartoon...ever. --Dale
		Well, Dale, the reason Rockwood doesn't show up on that page is because we're not actually syndicated. It wouldn't be much of an article if no one was asking any questions. As for Mr. Keane claiming that others might be funnier than he is, well, he said it, not us. However, we do have to give him props for his smart-alek answer to the guy who said he'd never laughed at The Family Circus. Maybe if he had some of that type of humor in his actual strip we'd like it more.
		July 29, 2003 Dancing on the grave of Saddam' sons. No denying thay they were some sick bastards, to be sure. Maybe if my family had been tortured and killed by them I would be dancing, too, but I think I'll leave he celebration to those who were wronged by those men. I am disturbed by any celebration of death. To be capable of finding happiness in the death of another is to be capable of being like them. Me. I'll just ponder the opposing views that while I cannot condone life being taken in my name, the world is certainly a better place without those two. It would have been much better to have brought them before a court to list their crimes, and to allow testimony to be brought against them. Cowards that they were, it is not surprising that they chose to end in violence, rather than justice. I doubt their father will have the courage to face the judgement of his countrymen either. So I'm glad they're gone, but I'm not gonna dance. --Jerry
		That's okay, Jerry. We're not forcing anyone to dance, here. Nor will we force you to play naked twister with us when Saddam's head comes rolling around. We simply believe that anytime the world ends up a better place, some dancing is in order. However, it's a little silly to argue that being glad that Uday and Qusay are dead somehow makes any of us "like them." We are glad they're dead, but that doesn't mean we're about to start raping and murdering the populace. Furthermore, we'd have a hard time believing that the judgement of their countrymen would result in anything less than a bullet to the head. The Hussein brothers were destined to end their lives on the wrong side of a gun, it just happens that it was held by U.S. instead of Iraqi hands. But still, we thank you for your letter, and we're sure that you'll soon be sending a note to Aaron McGruder protesting his recent celebration of death, also. Enjoy!
