[Groop] Where were you?

[Chad Riden]

I was a huge fan of Sergio's work in MAD & his paperbacks.. and didn't  
know about GROO until I was browsing a newsstand in an airport with my  
family. They had a small comics rack and I saw the title "Sergio  
Aragones'.." and about lost my mind. I pulled out issue #33 and was  
absolutely stunned by the cover. I bought it and read it over and over  
and over while traveling.. and showed it to my cousin when we got to  
his house. He was a collector and had all of the GROO's in a box. I  
subscribed immediately and began sending Mark and Sergio the dumbest,  
most pointless fan mail I could compost.
