I love it when you go out on a limb and stir things up. Keep up the good work. I hope you can come up with about three weeks on the campaigns. Or more even.

--Jim Rockwood

 
It's a lonnnng three months to Election Day, Jim. We're sure we'll come up with some more between now and then. As to how much, we don't know. We don't plan it out, and we don't really plan on becoming a purely political strip. We just like to dabble now and then. You'll just have to come back and see!

How do you play golf?

--K.Peterson

 
Poorly, K. Ha! Okay, that's not completely true. Team Rockwood isn't bad at golf, but none of us are going to be hitting the Hooters Tour anytime soon. We're happy that we've broken 90 and someday way in the future hope to break 80.

Par? Ha! Right. We don't play enough. We've chosen to set more reasonable goals for our golf game. Right now, our lifetime-achievement goal is to never buy another golf tee. We're six years into that quest and we're making it so far!

Just a reminder: you're not funny when you delve into politics. You end up taking cheap, obvious shots that don't really withstand much scrutiny.

You're often very funny otherwise.

Do with this information what you see fit.

--Ron

 
Cheap shots? Can't withstand scrutiny? These are the things cartoons are built on, Ron! If you're looking for reasoned dialogue and deep intellectual discussions, we recommend meatier reading material.

Yes, maybe we did imply a certain politician has a large ego. Fortunately, we don't have to withstand as much scrutiny as, say, a major political candidate who thought his nomination would be noted as the time when the "rise of the oceans began to slow." But then, we're just a simple comic strip, unable to withstand scrutiny.

Well, except for last time. Just a reminder: we were right then, too.

Wow, I leave for awhile and Team Rockwood becomes famous. Not in the, "Holy Crap, Rockwood is in the Sunday Funny pages!" but rather in the "Holy Crap! Rockwood dances a early 80's hit by a has been artist and becomes the latest internet viral phenom!" I shouldn't say latest, because it looks like you've been famous for well over a year now. Did you really inspire that prison in the Philippines to start a new exercise program? or was it just a coincidence?

I bet Rockwood took lessons from the Star Wars kid. Are you in therapy like he still is?
Well, the messiah comics last week were a hoot. Although I probably won't vote for him, I am becoming to accept the inevitable that he will be our next president. As long as he doesn't pull a Jimmy Carter with Iran, we should be alright.

It's good to see you've still kept the comic alive even in my absence. I was also going to ask if you had done any comics about Mars lately. I don't have time to sort through your archives, but I am curious. I've been reading some rumors that NASA may have a big announcement from their Phoenix lander (besides water). Maybe it discovered our Martian brethren in the form of bacteria?

Laters.

--Leif

 
We assume you're referring to the rumors of life on Mars, Leif? Sorry, but they're just rumors. Or at least, that's what "The Man" is telling us.

In any case, it's good to see you back after such a long absence. It's true that those Filipino prisoners were inspired to do Thriller by us, but their dance exercise program was in place well before the Wedding Thriller Dance became huge.

But really, Leif. You didn't have time to sort through the archives for Mars cartoons? Would it really take that long to look at the Archive and see the "Mars Phoenix Lands!" link? We think not. Now get to reading! We figure you have years to catch up on!
