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 22, 2004 Glad to see that you are listening to your constituents and giving us More Moore! Hahahahahhahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahahhahahaha bonk... oops, I just laughed my head off... --James
		Would that be LMHO? In any case, given the recent Moore-Jabba references, we'd advise against losing your head. You never know what it will reveal.
		June 23, 2004 Seems that July 5 is World Blog Haiku Day. It's a Monday, but you can pretend, right? And next year, it will be on 05-07-05 if you live in Europe! Alas, I will be on an internetless vacation that day, but I fully expect to come home the following week to scads of fabulous haikus. Nudge nudge (gently of course, and avoiding that knee -- get better soon!). --Katie
		We always knew we should have called it "Haiku Monday." Alas, maybe next year we'll have a special on July 5th. However, that's a long way out for us to plan. We don't even know what we're going to be doing this July, much less the next one.
		June 24, 2004 You nailed it, Moore as Jabba, I've been laughing my arse off. Do you sell any of your strips? Later. --gregg kopsa
		Hmm...we'd never really thought about it, Gregg. (Not on an individual scale, anyway--any syndicates willing to sell mass quantities of our strips, feel free to drop us a line.) However, we suppose that everything has a price. How about it, Rockwood readers? Is anyone else willing to pony up some dough for original artwork? Maybe we've been missing a good thing, here. Let us know!
		June 25, 2004 Your recent series of comic strips seems to confirm that since the Right is not able to effectively counter Michael Moore's actual assertions, it must resort to attacking the man. Or is this simply a sign of relief that Rush Limbaugh lost all that weight? --Bascom Guffin
		We KNEW there were some other Moore fans out there! As for Moore's assertions, we can hardly comment on them, having not yet seen his movie. But the Right hardly needs to counter Moore's assertions when the Left is doing it so well. However, we think you missed the point of the strips. Even Moore's friends say he's fat, and although we did throw in some fat jokes, our argument was never about attacking Moore personally (and even if it was, the Left isn't guilt-free here, either). Rather, our point was that Moore was a marketing genius. Before the whole Disney controversy broke, Moore had made a film that just a few, angry anti-war types were going to see. And then Disney...ahem..."banned" the film. Only they didn't. But once a film becomes controversial, everyone wants to see it. So now, the Left will see the film because they believe Moore has been attacked by the vast right-wing conspiracy. The Right will see the film so they can yell at Moore. Neither side will change their mind, but Moore, whose previous film was considered a wild success for having made $21 million total, now has a movie that has made $21 million in one weekend, simply by infuriating the Right. He'll be laughing that fat behind all the way to the bank.
		June 28, 2004 Did you say Mooooooooooooore?? Not for me. So called documentaries that are cut and pasted do not interest me. Moms are a good thing. So are dads. Glad to hear you are better. --Alyce
		And thus, the apparent problem in Moore's argument. He says wants his film to change minds, but the majority of people who are going to see it already know what they believe. Everyone else would rather spend their movie money elsewhere.
		June 28, 2004 Last time I travelled to the USA most people were fat. So why should Michael Moore be any different? Or is it that Americans don't like people pointing out the pink elephant in the corner or that the emperor has no clothes? I've never heard of a people getting themselves so worked up by somebody telling them that their elected officials are nothing but a bunch of self-serving, narcissistic idiots. I thought everybody knew the requirements to go into politics. --Simon Lepik
		Oh, laugh it up, our Canuck friend. Soon most people in Canada will be fat, too. A drive-thru is a drive-thru no matter what country it's in. But we disagree with you on politics. We think there are plenty of respectable politicians, like... uh... like... Well, we're sure we'll come up with some in the future. We'll let you know.
