[Groop] This is the end.

"From Gary
you probably also didn't know that Princess
Thaais (Groo #80-#83) is a caricature of Sergio's daughter, Christen."

lol  No, actually I knew about Thaais being a caricature of Sergio's 
daughter.  I also knew about Rufferto being a caricature of Sergio's dog 
(Could the loyal hound (in real life) still be alive?  I would doubt so.).  
That's why I was so surprised about the Chakaal - Charlene connection.  I 
missed that.

Does anyone know of a picture of the happy family?  I've actually only seen 
maybe three pictures of Sergio, I think two of Mark, and only one of all 
four of the Groo creators together(the only one I've seen of Tom and Stan).

Who is Arba a caricature of?  I definitely need to see a real life photo of 
her.  ;P
