I always look for it and enjoy it. However, I didn't figure you were the writer or creator of the content, so never felt the need to comment on your personal comedic chops.

So you know, you brought much joy to my wife and girls. But I understand the commitment to deliver laughs like that.

My I suggest continuing but only on special occasions/holidays.

Then NO ONE will take Rocky for granted.
You can't fix stupid.

I read the thread every week, and usually snagged a couple to pass along. Maybe posted/starred once or twice. Didn't know ya wanted feedback in that form. I do think a better gauge would be to look at views.

That said, this isn't Notre Dame. You don't just take your ball and go home cause you're upset….

You're absolutely free to do as you wish - although it's disappointing you've been feeling unappreciated. For what it's worth; your Sunday memes are as close as modernity gives me to the childhood memory of flopping down with those color pages of cartoons.

Now - I will also add - I find a scheisster's humor in that our most prolific meme thief feels unappreciated in his redistribution of spoils…

I probably have never commented on a Sunday Funnies thread - but, I literally came to TexAgs today to read the Sunday Funnies thread….

Oh well

You had 87 blue stars. That thread mattered as have the rest of them over the years.

But if I'm being honest this isn't the first time we've been here. If you do it for praise and adulation you should stop. If you do it to bring joy to at least 87 people then by all means continue. I don't need to feel obligated to tell you it was a great job each week.


87 stars... Congrats

No, I don't care what CNN or Miss NOW said this time

Rocky,

I have been receiving numerous request today from my victims, and by extension your victims, concerning the Sunday Meme Barrage.

I am one of your biggest fans and I honor you, Sir.

I pray that you and yours have a Blessed and Merry Christmas …

Whether or not you decide to continue this fine tradition.

Sorry, I haven't commented more. I don't offer opinions much as evidenced by the fact that this is only my 81st post in a little less than 11 years on TexAgs. Since I found the funnies a couple years ago, I have looked forward to it each week!

If this is the end thank you for your effort. I know it always made me laugh and think about many things I might not have.

Rocky, I only found this feature earlier this year, and tried to always provide positive feedback. That being said, thanks for all the laughs you provided, and all the work you put into the post every single week.

i'm sorry but crashing out over not getting enough appreciation for posting memes on a college football politics forum is so funny

You have the #2 blue star rank overall, and #1 among active, non-banned posters.

This thread is...curious. Hope everything is OK, bud.

RIP Sunday Funnies. It was an always go to on Sundays for me, and usually was quickly forwarded to the rib for her smiles and laughter. Rocky, you have every right to post or not post for whatever reason you desire. I'm sorry the feedback you desired was lacking, but I can assure you that a lack of appreciation should not be the basis of your choice.

Merry Christmas, Rocky, and wishing you a blessed and prosperous New Year.

I wasn't able to catch last week's thread before it dropped off the front page. I'm not your boss, so you don't owe me anything, but I'll sure miss the Sunday Funnies!

Same as others, enjoyed SF immensely!! But shame on me as I am mostly a TexAgs lurker in general and hadn't posted in awhile to say thanks, but always starred. You are a well oiled machine and took your contributions for granted.

*** Speaking of which, I need to give my wife a hug, kiss and tell her how much I appreciate her before she runs off too!! She rolled her eyes at times, but really loved me sharing my favorites weekly (I just know it)!
Wish I could hug you too, Rocky (and aggiehawg, dermdoc and coastag227 are other faves)!!

Of course I want you to comeback (Encore! Encore!).
If you get the urge again, rest assured, SF was a guaranteed weekly bright spot for many!!

Merry Christmas to you and wish you a Happy New Year!!
Pooh-ah!

I must respond to this.

I have never asked for blue stars, and the comments I wanted were beyond 'nice job, rocky'. I needed feedback to improve this running thread. Comments I was hoping to get were things like 'love the Rodney Dangerfield memes' or 'more Calvin and Hobbes. please". I had to know what you liked in order to stay in that lane, so to speak. If Far Side cartoons work, I want to hear it from you. This wasn't about me, but a mere 20 comments last week was really disappointing. And then, of course, as I predicted, there are over 90 comments on this thread today, mostly positive, but some really insulting ones as well.

Then why didn't you just ask for that feedback previously? Instead of sulking and complaining about something that none of us knew you wanted or needed. This is very much a "I'm going home and taking my toys with me" thread and few (probably no one) knew what set you off.

I'm just a neutral in this but giving my observation as that neutral.

I haven't posted very often if at all on the Sunday funnies thread, but have loved them and looked forward to them every week. It's a tradition every Sunday morning before church. Very sorry to see them go, but want to sincerely thank you for all the trouble you have gone through to post it each week!

I had stated over and over in previous Sunday Funnies introductions that I appreciated their comments and feedback, hoping it would provoke more comments/feedback. If that went unnoticed, that's not on me.

I think you should do a YouTube video with your work each week and get paid for it as your audience grows.

Helps to be explicit from time to time if it is something that means that much to you. And apparently it went unnoticed by a lot of people per this thread.

Either way, I have no skin in this and was just curious as to why this one blew up. Just wanted to give a perspective of a neutral party more or less. Be well and have fun with your new time.

I went back and read your last four or five Sunday Funnies I did not see this request.


My apologies for not seeing it earlier! But since you ask, here are my notes:


None! They are GREAT! Everyone!

I'll send you prayers for peace and validation and hope you find both. You're seeking validation from nameless, faceless anons…I hope you receive the peace only God can give.

I am about the same age as rocky and we have a lot in common. I knew he was a cartoonist as was The Hubs, among with the Ags and such.

This week has been a bit unnerving for me and I strongly suspect, for him. The thread about user profiles and stars singled us both out, among others. Then the POTD thread again singled us out.

Attention is not the same as validation. Now rocky and I have different purposes for doing what we do on this forum. His is nailing a certain zeitgeist in very current humor. That's a resonating meme purpose. The demos of this forum are changing. Us old farts, have a certain frame of reference that is completely foreign to younger poster. (And usually are just less civil and meaner, too boot.)

Me? I'm a retired lawyer. I want to win arguments. (Ask The Hubs. Second thought, don't.) And over the last several years over multiple topics and multiple threads I have been absolutely nails far more often than I whiffed. And when I do make mistakes, I stand corrected and acknowledge them. So giving me stars is nice, I guess. As is when I run off a wannabe lawyer who tries to argue with me, leaves and comes back with a new username is a capitulation, I suppose. Different type of validation.

Here's the bottom line, Ags. He is asking for help from fellow Ags. And what do we normally do in that situation?

We care enough to offer it. Or is that also now Old Army?
