Greetings, Groop.  After several years of lurking and simply reading the=20
messages here, I decided to announce my presence to all of you.  My name is=20
Tyler Sticka, and I'm sixteen years old and still in high school (I wonder i=
f=20
that makes me the youngest Grooper here...?).  I'm an aspiring cartoonist,=20
and have been reading Sergio's work since grade school, when my father (who=20
was quite into the MAD paperbacks when he was younger) gave me a copy of "In=
=20
MAD We Trust!"  Thus, my obsession began.

Since then, I have a humble collection of most of the paperbacks, and about=20=
a=20
comic box and a half of various Aragon=E9s material, as well as some trade=20
paperback collections and the two Groo graphic novels.  I've been lucky=20
enough to purchase about three sketches, (all are inside Groo comics and wer=
e=20
bought second-hand, I have yet to meet any of the Groo Crew...), and I've an=
=20
avid player of the Groo Game, which I strongly suggest people play, and I'm=20
sure most of you have.

Anyway, here's hoping I won't be stoned to death or anything, but I've been=20
seeing a few posts I'd like to respond to and finally decided to come out of=
=20
lurker-dom.  Thanks.
