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!

		May 5, 2005, Hey Brian, do you still have the Star Wars action figures you had when you were a kid, or did your mom throw them out like mine threw out my comic books and baseball cards (she still owes me big time for the Mark McGuire rookie card she tossed)? Those ought to be worth some cash by now, don't you think? -Paul
		Unfortunately, Paul, like all other foolish children in the '70s, we actually played with our Star Wars action figures until they were broken, so if Mom did throw them out, she was really just throwing out pieces of action figures. However, we do at least try to keep some of that action figure spirit alive by owning some of the new Star Wars toys. Of course, as shown by that picture, we've already blown the investment value of these new toys by taking them out of the package. Curse our lack of financial sense!
		May 6, 2005, OK OK So I'm labeling myself, but Friday's cartoon was funny and exactly what Kepler would have done! I try not to laugh out loud in my little box with fuzzy blue walls, but every now and then I can't resist. --Brian #3 (BTW C-??? Never! I'm sorry, but you are way better than Penny Arcade.)
		Here at Team Rockwood we may not do much right, but we're always a hit with the math geeks. We hold that up as a point of pride.
		May 7, 2005, Two people to make a line...always two there are, a Master and an Apprentice. Hmm...speaking of lines and those joining them, who's more foolish? The fool or the fool(s) who follow? --Syn
		We're hoping it's the following fools who are more foolish, Syn, since we managed to convince 11 people to go to next week's midnight premiere. Of course, we're the ones who are going to get there early to hold a place in line, so maybe those followers aren't so foolish after all.
		May 9, 2005, Well, I don't have Rockwood bookmarked as an IP address and the site appears to be up. From my experience at work, this seems to confirm my suspicion that web-registrars keep urging renewals sooner and sooner, to keep their cash flow going. I just never heard of them shutting down an account before its due time, though. --DH
		Well, as Interland explained to us, DH, they didn't really shut down the rockwoodcomic.com account before it's due time. When we saw "expires in May 2006," we foolishly assumed that that meant next year. Silly us! It just turns out that when their web site told us that our domain name expired in 2006, it really meant that it expired in 2005. Even though we're math geeks, apparently we just forgot to carry a one somewhere. It won't happen again!
		May 9, 2005, I can't even begin to express my shock and dismay experienced this morning when I got the message that Rockwood's domain name had expired, and that I could purchase it. Who do they think I am? Skip? Although, I did feel a bit like Schroedinger must have felt when I logged onto the Net a second time. When I open the box, will the cat/strip be alive? Or, has the Rockwood Reality branched so far from our own that when the I clicked on My Favorites, the appropriate shortcut would not exist. In an attempt to change reality, I typed in rockwoodcomic.com. Did I succeed in changing reality, or am I in the box with Team Rockwood? Who can say... All that matters is Woo-HOO!!! Rockwood's back!!! --Bad Panda
		We know exactly how you feel, Panda. Why, just in the time it's taken us to update this mailbag page, we've gone from being able to fully navigate the Rockwood site to only being bounced to the Network Solutions page telling us our account expired a week ago. There's no telling when you'll get to see this message, but we're sure you'll think that's humorous. That is, IF you get to see this message. Maybe we're writing for ourselves again.
