[Groop] New Thread - fave Groo . . .

[Pengyfelix at aol.com]

I apologize for not looking up (or knowing by heart) the issue numbers, but 
my two favorite Groos are, in no particular order:

-the one with the puppet shows ("Hit him in the head!  Hit him in the 
head!").  That was the very first comic book I ever read.  Not long after Elie and I 
started dating, he gave it to me to read because he was always reading comic 
books and wanted me to see what it was all about.  I was hooked.  When I took 
it to Sergio to be signed, Sergio pointed out the little details in the artwork 
he put in to reinforce the TV allegory.  Very cool.

-the one where Groo has to take an iceberg to the desert and briefly goes to 
Antarctica and spends a couple pages with the penguins, considering slaying 
and barbecuing them.  As you may have extrapolated from my email address and 
blog title, I am a bit of a penguinphile, and, of course, the combination of Groo 
and penguin made it an instant favorite.  That is the other Groo I asked 
Sergio to sign, and when I told him I like it because I collect penguins, he 
started telling me all about his Antarctic penguin cruise.  We happened to have 
purchased Comics and Other Necessities of Life by ME (artwork by Sergio) 
immediately prior to that conversation, and while we talked penguins and Sergio signed 
the book, he started turning the publisher's logo into a penguin head.  
Before I knew it, the entire title page was covered with a penguin rookerie.  I 
cannot overstate how quickly Sergio can draw.  I swear, I just blinked.
