ME: We'll probably be running a good supply of doodles.  But apart
from the one cover we printed in the hardcover GROO CHRONICLES, I'm
not sure there's ever been a page that was finished and rejected.
Lots of things have been changed in the rough pencil stage but I can't
recall anything that reached the ink stage.

>*close-ups of some of the Groo cameos in the MAD marginals

ME: Don't think we could get permission for that.

>decided not to do

ME: Don't know if we want to tip those because we may still do them.

>*animation cells, if any have been done

ME: None done.

>*a page of stickers or a bumper sticker would be cool

ME: Maybe.

>*some of the original material from foreign publications

ME: We'll do that, almost certainly.

>*reprints of some of the rarer short stories (for those 
>non-hardcore-collecting readers)

ME: Suggest which ones you think we oughta do.

>*Oh, and some nudie pix of Chakaal would be nice.... (sorry Eric)

ME: We don't have any.  But we have plenty of Grooella...
