[Groop] Groo in Usagi Yojimbo

[Yodazone at aol.com]

The tidal wave cover of Groo: Hell on Earth  issue 2 looks real similar to 
the  classic Catnippon pinup page:

And  with Sergio's Catnippon story "The Missive" as a perfect follow-up  
story!

Subject: [Groop] Groo in Usagi Yojimbo

I am reading all of Usagi Yojimbo starting from the very beginning (the  
public library is an amazing resource).

In Book One, in the first or  second story, there is an appearance from our 
favorite barbarian (with  animal ears).  Then, throughout the first bunch of 
short stories, there  are various references to a "mindless barbarian" and other 
famous Groo  phrases.

But the best is in Book Three, the story "The Tea Cup" (I  believe 
Fantagraphics issue number 11) the entire story is an homage to Groo  (even labeled 
"with apologies to Sergio Aragone's Groo the Wanderer).   It is set up exactly 
like a Groo comic with splash page featuring a poem  (and little warrior women), 
and moral at the end.  Many references to  mulch, cheese dip, slow of mind, 
and a certain Wanderer appearing in  shadows.  Just a fantastic comic story.
