~~~ Ruben BABY!!!!!  I'm afraid southern California on Aug. 1-4 is as close 
as I'm going to get.  I'm terrified enough of flying as it is.  2 planes 
and eight hours in the sky!  Yes!  I'm going to keep that stewardess busy 
with the alcohol.  I hope she wears her sneakers that day.

Oh nooooo!!!! It's Nate!!! Everyone run for the
hills!!! AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!
Just Kidding !!!! Welcome Back Nate !!! Haven't
missed much. Gary still hates Shane, and everyone
else just talks about Groo. Can you imagine that? A
Groop of people around the world dedicated to Groo the
Wanderer that actually talks about Groo. Scary.
You see? Some things never change.

~~~ Gary still hates Shane?  S'okay.  Shane still hates me.  I'm sorry 
things have been slow.  I just finished DEATH & TAXES last week.  Loved 
it.  Loved it, loved it.  I didn't feel smashed over the head with the 
deeper social commentary this time.  (It was there, and there's NOTHING 
wrong with deeper social commentary... but it didn't feel as overt this 
time and I appreciate the more subtle approach).  And of course, the art 
was great.   I'm looking forward to meeting the whole GROO team this 
year.  Stan Sakai stopped by my booth at Chicago Con 2000, and he was one 
of the nicest guys in the biz.  USAGI continues to be a priority on my 
reading list.
