[Groop] Membership Cards, Etc.

[C Haxton]

I had occasion to do the Groo version of 'Where's Waldo' with the Fairly
Oddparents Nickelodeon issue, and [lacking Gary's experience] saw nothing
the I would guess to be Sergio's....  There is a comic book section in the
center with some crowd scenes, and even a marginals-type page, but nothing
looked like SA's work.
