[Groop] (Not a) Conan parody

[Chris Emmett]

Well, you wouldn't would you... but how anybody could infer that I don't see. Conan has a broadsword whereas Groo has katanas. Conan has rippling thighs, Groo has, well whatever those are, presumably there's bones and muscle in there somewhere. Conan is driven by destiny, Groo is driven away.

BTW I'm not knowledgeable about these things...which came first Conan or the barbarian genre?

distinction without a difference, Sergio does not like Groo to be thought of as 
a specific parody of Conan.  Rather, Groo is a parody of the entire 
barbarian genre.  He is quite adamant about this distinction.
