I'm a fellow cartoonist who is trying to break in to the comic strip business. I so far got rejected twice and was wondering if I could get some advice on having my cartoon strips noticed more. VERY FUNNY STRIPS BY THE WAY! I myself feel like a tiny ant getting melted by the glare of the giant corporate windows of the syndicate buildings by the sun! Thanks for reading my message.

Well, Dan, our advice is that you should first start self-publishing your comic strip online. Then create years worth of funny strips. Also, promote them endlessly by trying to get other sites to link to them, which would create further exposure. After all of this effort you'll be... uh... hmmm... you'll be right where we are.
On second thought, Dan, maybe we're not really the ones you should be asking for advice. You should, however, get some stuff online. After all, you just missed a prime opportunity for us to link to you!

In answer to Mikki (scroll to second letter)-
If I answered "D" which you cited as "None of the above," then I would be stuck with PotC. I would fail the test, but argue the grade.
A: X3, oh yes. Must see
B: MI: 3 Not a chance.
C: Supes: Possibly. I'll let others spend their money first and check reviews.
D: PotC: Another must see, if just to hear Depp talk like he's on methadone.
Haven't seen any outstanding movies so far this year. Haven't seen V yet, so I don't know how it was. I'll have to see it just to see how evil John Hurt is. Does the Team have any reviews without spoilers?

Team Rockwood saw V for Vendetta over the weekend, Panda, and we give it a "good, but not great" rating. Our spoiler-free review is as follows: If you like 1984 and are also a fan of comic book movies, you'll probably enjoy it. If, on the other hand, your idea of a good time at the movies is 13 Going On 30, you're probably not going to have a good time.

Face on Mars? Pssahaaw! That is so last millenium...
What I want to know about is the giant band-aid of Russia I discovered last month. I personally think it is an effort for Russians to patch the hole in the ozone...
ooo... I think I'll submit that to the Weekly World News... I wonder if I can get a shirt or something?

You can always ask, Brian, but we're betting they'll just send you a subscription request from Bat Boy.
And surely that band-aid is just some tape holding together that archival Russian picture. If you really want to do some exploring on Google Maps, try looking for meteor impact craters.

Well, after finishing with your revenge business, you'll need another job. Have you ever considered piracy? You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts.
