[Groop] The Groo Alphabet

[Gary Grossmann]

Wow!!  

What a cool idea!  Thanks for giving us a chance to contribute!  Anywho, off the top of my head:

Since P must be for Pal & Drumm, how about H is for the Hordes of Pipal Khan  (I love Pipal Khan.  I wish he wasn't dead!  All I have to do is say the name "Pipal Khan" or "Gwoo must be destwoyed!" and The Long Suffering Mrs. G. starts laughing.  Since one of my major goals in life is to make The Long Suffering Mrs. G. laugh, I must lobby for a poem about Pipal Khan.  Bring back Pipal!)  

V is for Vano

Since T must belong to Taranto, how about L is for the Legend of Thaais
or L is for Li'l Groo
Too bad Abecedario wasn't named Xwyzeeario, cuz it would be great to have a poem about Groo learning to read.  #100 will always be one my all time favorite Groos.  Maybe L could be for the Librarians of Groo #100.   

There has got to be a way to work in Granny Groo.  A synonym for con artist that starts with a letter not taken.  Mark could probably come up with a couple dozen words for con artist without thinking much about it.  And maybe "poetic license" would allow X to be for Ahax.  I wish there was a way to work in Macha.  Groo's brain actually engaged long enough for him to think of a way to get rid of her.  That shows the degree of fear and desparation she elicited!!  

Anywho, thanks again, Mark, for giving us a chance to contribute.

Take care all -Gary G. 

PS  When we last saw Arcadio, in the "real" world of Groo he was still a brain washed follower of the cult in #89, right? (See #89, page 22)  In #99, when he is turned into a frog (with th biggest chin any frog has ver had!), that is just part of a story that Sage is telling and didn't "really" happen.
