I have to be completely honest here: as a kid I found the idea of the stupid, quick-to-violence yet ineffective bully to be hilarious. What can I say? I watched a lot of Looney Toons. Rocky's low IQ and lack of vocabulary make him fun to write. Utterly predictable and stupid, but fun.
I should also confess that, as a kid I always loved seeing the bully pick fights he couldn't win... because I was the kid that usually got picked on. In my defense, at least I used comics to get my frustration out of my system instead of, you know, more violent alternatives or something. :/
Swing And A Miss!
