The many sides of Rocky the Raccoon -- a photo caption contest!
Grrrr-eetings and welcome to my world! I am Rocky the Raccoon and it is your opportunity to caption me! I am the fiercest of all raccoons that inhabit the natural area behind Giant Squid JaguarJulie's house. I was here before she moved in and before she began taking care of all those crazy country club cats. Perks for me though as I love cat food. Try as she may to discourage me from visiting, I'm there morning, noon and night to partake in the feast.

Why Rocky the Raccoon agreed to appear today!
Who doesn't like a contest -- a photo caption contest?
OK, as you probably don't know, Rocky the Raccoon -- that's me -- I'm normally a shy kind of raccoon. I like to sneak up and partake of all that yummy cat food that JaguarJulie puts out for those darn pesky cats. On this particular day, it was time for lunch and what did I see? JaguarJulie had grabbed her camera and wanted to take my picture. Well, I was trying hard to ignore her, but she persisted. After all, she is a Giant Squid you know and wanted to do a lens on me. What was cool is that she is attending Giant Squid Summer School -- yeah!
When I heard that her first assignment was a photo caption contest, I thought that sounded like a winner. After all, I do have a pretty side! Scroll on down and check me out and see what you think! Be sure to take some time and play along with me. I dare ya!

Rocky the Raccoon -- Oh Goody, Another Bowl of Food!
I just love this cat food.
Just like a potato chip, I can't eat just one bowl.
Sure you get to eat anything, but because of the bad economy I'm reduced to eating cat food. I've reached a new low.

I love raccoon pictures and books about raccoons. I'm not sure which is my favorite book -- Frosty or Rascal.

That's cute. When we used to have a grape vine, there was a family of skunks that showed up for dinner. We quickly went back inside and watched them eat till their hearts content.

Rocky Raccoon according to Wikipedia
"Rocky Raccoon" is a 1968 folk rock song by The Beatles from the double-disc album The Beatles (also known as The White Album). The song was primarily written by Paul McCartney, who was inspired while playing guitar with John Lennon and Donovan Leitch in India (where the Beatles had gone on a retreat).
Rocky Raccoon -- The Lyrics!
Yeah, Rocky the Raccoon immortalized
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of dakota
There lived a young boy named rocky
raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young rocky in the eye, rocky didnt like that
He said Im gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon
Rocky raccoon checked into his room
Only to find gideons bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was magil and she called herself lil
But everyone knew her as nancy
Now she and her man who called himself dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said danny boy this is a showdown
But daniel was hot - he drew first and shot
And rocky collapsed in the corner
Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said rocky you met your match
And rocky said, doc its only a scratch
And Ill be better, Ill be better doc as soon as I am able
Now rocky raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find gideons bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good rockys revival
Rocky the Raccoon makes it in the videos!
OK, it's not really me that he's singin' about
Rocky Racoon Animation
The final animation for my Animation I class I took back in 2004. A rather literal interpretation of Rocky Racoon by the Beatles. Made with Adobe Illustrator and Adobe AfterEffects, both of which I had never used prior to this class. It's pretty rough around the edges but still entertaining enough to show to the world. Edit: Everybody, I know what a Gideon is. I made this in my Animation I class, and back then I thought it would be clever to not have the story match up completely with the song lyrics, but apparently the result just confuses people instead. Don't put too much thought into it okay?
