[Groop]20 years of Groo - suggestion

[The Craills]

Hey Groop,

Question for ME:
For the 20th anniversary splash, how about taking Becky Grossman's idea one
step further and getting groo-grams from groo-partners. A sort of behind the
scenes look at groo collectors ?

We could get our wives, husbands, partners etc to email groo-grams
submissions to ME about what it's like living with Groo collectors and he
can see if there is anything worth following up on the idea.

If ME approves, you could say the idea had MErit !

Aha - also if ME writes a good script (such as an issue of Groo) he could
say meRIT it !  :o)

Which just shows that there is hope for me in the comics industry also, as I
am never likely to get paid to pen my wit - almost like my prose has no
meWIT

ok I'll stop now before someone slaps me

Greg "grooless" Craill
Still overseas so I haven't had a chance to read Becky's letter yet !
