Send some of that snow our way up here in ND. I'll take what Colorado, Wisconsin, and New York received. What happened to the days when the snowpiles would reach the house roofs? You heard those stories where the paths they shoveled went above their heads, the only place old timers could go was to the barn and back to the house?

--K.Peterson

 
We don't know what you're talking about, K. We have it on good authority that our parents made out perfectly well in the deep snow. In fact, not only did they survive the deep snow, they also survived their Escher-like landscape that was always uphill no matter which way they walked. Now those were the days!

"However it says here he only experimented once with cannibalism."
I was so sure the tag text was gonna be "but he didn't swallow."

--Brian #3

 
For those of you who don't know, you can hover your mouse above every Rockwood cartoon and another joke will pop up. In this case, even though we thought our joke was good, we think Brian #3's is better. Well played, #3!

What is your favorite comic strip and why?

--Toe Knee

 
That's a complicated question to ask a cartoonist, Mr. Knee. If we had to choose only one, we'd have to say Peanuts. Even if in later years it lost some steam, in its prime it changed the entire comic industry. And besides, how can we turn our back on our first love?

If you're looking for consistency of output, Calvin and Hobbes is the master, mainly because Bill Watterson hung it up while he was on top. There have been very few strips that were ever better drawn, and even fewer that were better written. Combine the two and you get the best.

However, both of those strips have the disadvantage of being dead. Of current strips, we recommend Pearls Before Swine, which could best be described as completely insane, but in a good way. It's concept is so simple yet so well executed that it makes us embarrassed that we didn't think of it first ourselves.

Are you asking about the t-shirts we keep promising but never delivering? We're getting around to it, prince monney! Well, okay, we haven't exactly done anything about it yet, but we've been thinking about it. Maybe we could do a t-shirt about our parents walking uphill both ways in knee-deep snow. Nahh... no one would buy that.
