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 10, 2004 You could always write "THIS ONE" on your left knee and "NO - WRONG ONE" on your right knee if you're still worried! Hope the surgery goes well, and best wishes for a speedy convalescence! --Christina
		Heh...you kid, but they write that for you. And yes, that is Brian's blood draining into that tube. Yummy!
		June 10, 2004 Wow! You're just like Britney Spears only slightly less pretty and likely less slutty. Cheers! --Michael
		But, oh, to be slutty with Britney Spears.
		June 10, 2004 Argh! I feel your pain (well, the human brain doesn't really let us do that... nature is so wise) as I had have been through it as well. Best of luck with the ACL repair (no cartilage/bone damage, I hope) and regardless of the pain: DO YOUR PT!!! The pain is just weakness leaving your body ;) I'm with you on the drugs thing - I think I may have taken a couple to actually sleep but that was all - didn't like them when I was trying to read/type/be-awake... what hurt me the most was the incision in front of my patella when I stood up and the pressure built up - ouch! ...and the shower!!! OMG I had forgotten all about it but you are so right! Get well soon! Your friend, --Spike
		Thanks, Spike! Nope, no cartilage or bone damage, and since Brian's graft used the hamstring instead of the patellar tendon, he doesn't have the same kind of pain that you had. However, thanks to the miracle of PT, his physical therapists are finding lots of new ways to make weakness leave his body. OWWWWW!!!!
		June 17, 2004 No great Haiku this week. (BTW you really should change that drop down on the express yourself page to include "Haiku submission") Just well wishes! We all hope you recover from Cartoonists Knee soon! Over this same period of time, I'm doing a bit of recovery too from my ribs trapping and then ripping into some chest muscles. After almost three weeks (and almost passing out twice after sneezing), I've come to my own conclusion on pain medications. I've decided "No one cares if you are being manly and suffering though pain all day. So, just take the stupid pills and feel better!". But that's just my opinion! --Brian Layman
		You hurt yourself sneezing? Who are you, Sammy Sosa? But "cartoonists knee," eh? We like. We like. That's what we're going to call it from now on.
		June 18, 2004 Brian, I have greatly enjoyed your sense of humor in your recovery from surgery... I think the humor is your greatest asset in recovery. The Bible says laughter doeth good like a medicine... so now let us get down on our knees and pray... no wait... you can't get down on your knees... my bad... --James
		James, Brian would run over there right now and kick your butt... uh... if he could do either. Grrrrr....
		June 21, 2004 I saw Michael Moore on the Today Show this morning. You didn't draw him nearly fat enough. --Mom
		Well, we couldn't see all of him, Mom. Your TV screen is a lot bigger than ours.
		June 21, 2004 Rockwood's Back! Glad to see you are an accomplished cartoonist again. Look at the bright side, even though your TKD days may be numbered for awhile, you now have the entire internet anticipating your next strip. I had an ankle injury that kept me from doing any kicking for almost 6 months. I went stir crazy. Get healed and go show off again. --Leif P.S. Michael Moore should be fatter.
		People, people...where's the love? Is Michael Moore really that fat? Well, okay, yeah he is, but still. We do have to admit we found this Onion headline pretty funny, though (you'll have to scroll down a little...it's on the right side).
		June 21, 2004 the only problem with todays comic - Michael Moore, it that you protrayed him as too skinny. Have you seen this overblown mass of flesh? He's HUGE. I guess it would have been hard to fit any thing else into the frame if you used his anatomically correct proportions.... anyway, keep up the good work! I look forward to every episode. --Wayne
		We're beginning to see a trend here...
		June 21, 2004 Like the strip, read it everyday, and how you work current events into it. I don't think you made m. moore fat enough, he should be like Jabba the Hut fat. Can you make him eat a toad while you're at it. --gregg kopsa
		A toad? Ewww! We think Michael Moore would rather eat pizza. You know, like Pizza the Hut! Ha! Ha! Ha! Get it? 'Cause it's pizza, and... uh... you know... Hut... Okay, so we've been gone a week. Sometimes the timing doesn't come right back, either.
		June 21, 2004 Wait, wait, wait!!! I think your Michael Moore rendering skills have been seriously messed up by surgery. You used to do such a good job with him. He almost looks respectable in Monday's cartoon. --kyle
		Okay! We give! We'll make Moore bigger! But you know, we only have so much ink.
