In september 2002, I was at a computer conference in Munich, Germany
(conference was YAPC::Europe, http://www.yapc.org/Europe/2002/), and
I gave a short talk wearing my Groo 20th anniversary shirt. One of
the (computer) star that was attending the talk, later asked me about
the Groo and the shirt. He was american (so he was more likely to know
US comics) and naturally, he liked Groo.

None of the guys with the usual computer geek shirts in the crowd seemed
to attract attention.

Just to say that Groo-related stuff attracts nice comments, even at non
comic-book events. :-)
