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!

AAARRGGHH!! I posted incomplete AND incorrect information (scroll to third letter) publicly from what I knew to be a questionable source (my wife)... and I stated it as fact.

Oh, well. Par for the course. Email me at badpanda@cbs.com for a retraction or cashiers check. (yeah, right)

--Bad Panda
 

   
   
Oh, Panda, now you're going to be in hot water with your wife, too (because you did convince her to read Rockwood, right?). Maybe you'd better hold on to that cashier's check.

Hi Guys and James M. James, I am sure you are, in fact, a quality individual with great taste in comic strips (scroll to first letter)! Not unlike my own James M who follows Rockwood as regularly as he can. He is currently aboard the USS Lincoln. And I am sure will get such a kick out of this exchange when he sees it! Looking forward to tomorrow's strip.

--Donna Williford
 

   
   
Rockwood gets read on an aircraft carrier? AWESOME! In this case, a late Mailbag has worked to our advantage. We here at Team Rockwood would like to wish everyone on the USS Lincoln, as well as everyone in the American Armed Forces, a happy Veterans Day! It's thanks to the sacrifices of people like you that people like us have the freedom to be the smart-alecks we are. Don't think we don't appreciate it.

You still have campaign signs up? Dude, the election's over!

(Sorry. You left yourself open for that...)

--Andrew Rawnsley
 

   
   
True enough, Andrew. However, the sign stealing started before the election, and honestly, what really bothers us is not so much that people hate Bush so much that they think it's okay to tear down a sign that has his name on it, but rather that someone on our street thinks it's okay to steal other people's stuff. We're pretty sure "theft" is a no-no for both the left AND right wings.

Your yard sign was likely stolen by the ghost of Porkins, who stole my Kerry/Edwards yard sign. I believe they're being used as platters as he waits in line at Hometown Buffet. You should have smathered your sign in Vaseline and honey and set a dog poo booby trap. Kept my sign safe until the day after the election.

BTW; the Bush/Cheney thugs have been out in force removing K/E yard signs, but they're clearly more industrious. If you'll take a drive down East Boyd street, you'll notice several Kerry/Edwards signs on a fence that have been vandalized with black spray paint.

Thuggery works both ways you see; that's the beauty of this country.

--Dr. Zira
 

   
   
We prefer to think of that as the ugly side of the country, Doctor. Not even considering that someone's trying to abuse someone else's first amendment rights, as we just said...STEALING! IT'S WRONG! Grow up, and don't do it.

However, we'd gladly contribute our campaign signs as a platter for Porkins. We imagine the scene in Hometown Buffet as going something like this:

PORKINS approaches the end of the buffet line, suddenly realizing that he's piled too many mashed potatoes on top of his Bush/Cheney yard sign.

PORKINS:

I've got a problem here.

(He readjusts the sign.)

PORKINS:

I can hold it.

(Suddenly, he realizes he can't.)

PORKINS:

No, I'm all right. I'm alllrightaaAAAAARRRRGGGGH...

FADE OUT.

Some sad, some glad, all is over. Now, it is showtime! Am happy to have Rockwood to keep tuned!

--Alyce
 

   
   
It's kind of nice to not have politics for a while, eh? Let's all take a deep breath and breathe in the non-political air.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Feel better? Good. Because that's all you're getting. Four more years of this! Eek.

Have you ever thought about putting a desk or wall calendar together for your fans? What better way to remember your comic than daily doses of fun.

--Kevin Hawkins
 

   
   
A calendar? Hey! What a great idea! Look for one soon, Kevin!

I looked at your sign stealing page. What did the disclaimer say on the sign you created? My bet is that you'll be putting up signs through Nov. 11.

Oh, and dude, hurry up and get going with the 2005 calendars.

Speaking of the Vikings...I have some choice words for Mr. Culpepper, who is on my fantasy team. (&(&*(*()@#$@#%@#E$%^@#$%! What happened to his 30+ point games?

--Leif
 

   
   
The quote was, "And since you're going to knock this one down, too, read all about it at..." with our web address. The funny thing is that that's exactly what happened, plus our mysterious sign-stealing punk left us a little note. You can read all about it here. It's pretty funny how wound-up someone got about a sign.

And although Culpepper has been disappointing the past few weeks, at least he's still playing. Not starting at wide receiver for Team Rockwood for the last three weeks: Randy Moss. Incidentally, Team Rockwood's fantasy football players have accumulated four season-ending ACL injuries this season. Why, you'd think their coach had influenced them.

Brian, it's nice to see you're still out there. I treasure your Colledge E-Week cartoons from 92 and 93.

One comic I wish I'd saved is when you were trying to project a kinder, gentler image for your strip, but by frame 4 your character couldn't resist saying "Greeks suck." Where can I find a copy of that?

--Dan
 

   
   
Ahh...our anti-fraternity college days! Well, ask and ye shall receive, Dan. Enjoy!

Is this for whom Kepler is named? -DH
 

   
   
Pretty smart there, DH. Who do you think you are, Ken Jennings?

Happy Halo-ween! Or Master Cheifmas! Or whatever you want to call it.

--Syn
 

   
   
We'll let someone else pick out the name, Syn. We're too busy putting up our Chiefmas Halo on the front door. After all, we're trying to get ready for X-Box-Mas!

Six months to Sith but only FIVE, that's right, five months to the Star Wars Celebration III right here in Indy! Hope I get all four days off work--I can't wait to see Charlie Ross' show!

 --Mikki
 

   
   
Mikki, ordinarily we'd make merciless fun of you for planning five months in advance on attending something like this. However, we're too busy figuring out how to get to Indianapolis to do so.
