[Groop] Official Unofficial Groo listing

[Gary Grossmann]

Hi Folks!

Wow!  Look at all the e-mails.  Man, you don't look at your e-mails for a
couple days and look what happens.  Sheesh!

OK, Tone, well, apparently I'm not THAT much of a perfectionist.  I can see
that you are correct and the Epic poster is an inch shorter than the others.
I'll make the change.

With respect to Image #12, I also always thought the cover looked a little
faded and figured it was a slight printing glitch.  Never got down to the
pixel level...

Let's see, as to the other stuff:  Anything that is in any of the regular
comics is original.  I think the only titling I've done with the side
stories is to number them.  "Sage Story #1," etc.  A Rufferto story has been
on the back cover of every regular Groo comic (Plus on the back of the 6
Groo Chronicles) since Epic #87, except #100.  All original No repeats.
(Hey!  We're talking Sergio here!!!)

OK, now I need to read all of the e-mails from the last 2 days and see if I
can pad my post total.

Take care all -Gary G.
