Groo for Gary?

 

No, but it does include:

 

Putting up with the walls of our large family room being covered with over
160 Groo comics and numerous posters

Putting up with a bookcase in said room stuffed with Groo trade paperbacks
(in several languages) & publications with Groo appearances and another
bookcase displaying numerous articles of Groo merchandise and paraphernalia.


Putting up with a dozen of more boxes containing Groo stuff that won't fit
on the walls or in the bookcases.

Putting up with my obsessive and never ending search for Groo items

Putting up with side trips to comic shops when we are on vacation, and
knowing that when we finally decide we can afford to go to Europe, we will
have to spend part of the time looking for obscure Groo appearances in old
French and Spanish humor magazines.  

 

In other words, Putting up with me!!  

 

Take care all,

 

Gary G.

Alexander,

            Unfortunately for my wife a thimble would not help prevent her
from being pricked at all. The pricking occurs through the other side of the
felting material, not the finger(s) pushing the needle through since most
felting needles have a stubby end. You are supposed to use a foam block
under the felting material you are poking through. However, after so many
stabbings even the foam becomes "deflated", so needles sometime poke through
into your other hand or lap, etc. You are not suppose to use a hard surface
underneath because the needles are delicate and can easily break.

            I guess my wife getting pricked is a risk she is willing to take
for our relationship. :-)

            I suppose who ever called Gary's wife the "Long Suffering Mrs.
G." might have to reconsider just how appropriate that is. Does her "Long
Suffering" include being repeatedly pricked to make a little Groo for Gary?
