[Groop]Hi Groop! (OT?)

[Gary Grossmann]

Hi Folks & Nate!

I am so glad for the update on the "Nate Breaks into the Comics Industry"
story!  I love it and I'm sure all the other Groopies of more than a year or
so do to!  As I've said before, nothing about the creative endeavors of any
Groop member is off topic.  And Nate, you will ALWAYS be a Groop member
whether you are on the mailing list or not.  (HA! You can't get rid of that
easy!  Bwahahahahaha!)

And besides, the Groop has been so dead lately with respect to messages,
almost anything is welcome.  Obviously, the real world has been taking up a
lot of everyone's time (the nerve!).  That's sure been the case with me.
Plus a lot of stupid, Groo-ish things have been happening involving the
infamous in-laws, my job, vehicles, and bad teeth!  But, I'm not complaining
because I have a great wife, great kids, and Groo!  What more could a guy
ask for?

Take care all -Gary G.

PS  Nate is, of course, correct!  Action Speaks is fantastic!  Classic
Sergio!  It is absolutely amazing to me that a man could come up with
literally thousands and thousands of gags!  It reminds me of one of the
things Sergio said to me once when he was talking about the need to
practice, practice, practice your drawing and added that that was only half
of it, you also had to have something to say!
