Okay okay I'll give you that one.  The resemblance is pretty good. It's hard
to tell, of course, if it was either intended to look like Groo, or just a
coincidence. Sergio may be the only one who can answer this, but after
millions of characters drawn, I would believe it if even he didn't know.  My
assumption is of course that at the time Groo was unrefined since he had yet
to make an "official" appearance.  A prototype? A fluke?  Darned if I really
know, except that it did have more than just a slight resemblance. But since
I'm biased, I may be seeing things that aren't there.

However, on this tiny lead statue my toddler just pulled out of a drawer....
that most certainly is Sergio leaning on a pencil.
