[Groop] Misc. Groo Stuff

[Gary Grossmann]

Stay away from LA?  Stay away from LA?  The greater LA area is the center of
the Groo Universe.  Mark, Sergio, Tom & Stan all live in the general
vicinity (in Sergio's case, very general, but close enough)  Of course, it's
just a coincidence that my son goes to college down there, at the same
school that Josh Jones, creator of Groo.com and this mailing list, went to.
Just like it's a coincidence that my other son goes to college in Portland,
Oregon, 15 minutes away from Dark Horse comics, the current publisher of
Groo.  Just happen to turn out that way.

btw, after a two issue absence, Groo appears in MAD #394.

Take care -Gary G.

PS Why in the heck would they have a conference about errors charged to the
first baseman?
