"Rocky has received many awards and accolades but I have to admit that I was most stunned by making it to the cover of Mad Magazine! Mad Magazine is something that I had grown up with and used for childlike escapism. I just love the humor as a kid and the fact that I actually made it to the cover years later was really 'big time' for me, so extraordinary!"
