[Groop] Birthday Present

[Pengyfelix at aol.com]

Guess what he got me for my birthday!!!!!!!!!
 
Apparently, while we were in San Diego, Elie snuck around behind my back  and 
got EVERYONE on the Groo Crew to draw me penguins!  On top of  drawing a 
penguin, they each put in their Groo Specialty.  Stan's penguin  is hyper and 
flapping its flippers, and he also lettered "Happy Birthday,  Janet!" all across 
the top of the page.  Sergio's penguin is holding a  flower and has a little 
heart over it's head and a smile on its beak.  Tom  drew his Rockhopper (punk 
penguin, as seen in Usagi Yojimbo) saying "Hey,  Baby!" and colored it in 
watercolors.  ME drew a penguin in a bow tie  waving and even included penguinal 
dialog (the penguin is saying "Hi,  Janet!").
 
Elie then extracted the page from our sketchbook and had it framed  in a very 
pretty turquoise frame that matches the colors in Sergio and  Tom's penguins.
 
I am married to the most wonderful, thoughtful person!  He got the  ENTIRE 
Groo Crew involved in creating a perfect one-of-a-kind present.   Also, the 
entire Groo Crew kept the project under wraps while we were  there.  Even though I 
saw each of them after Elie went around to get  the sketches, not one of them 
even let on that they knew what I was getting,  much less that they had a 
hand in it.
 
By the way, do you have any idea how high this sets the gift-giving  bar?
 
Janet
