[Groop] Emerald City Comicon 2011

[Desiree R.]

I attended the Emerald City Comicon on Saturday, March 5, 2011 and had 
the chance to meet Sergio Aragones. He is a wonderful person! He even 
drew me a picture of himself.

I have been a fan of Groo my entire life. To actually meet my favorite 
artist, to shake his hand... I have no words to express my delight. Of 
course, I spent most of our short encounter babbling and squeaking. I am 
so glad to have met him!

Originally, I just brought a copy of Groo #10 from 1985 in hopes of 
getting an autograph. I figured the cover art was a good example of why 
I love Mr. Aragones' art; lots of stuff going on, humor, and Groo.

My husband got a Groo cap and Mr. Aragones signed it and drew a little 
Groo on it. Watching him draw was amazing. He is so fast and it just 
happened.

Later, I purchased a book of art from over a large portion of his 
career, and he signed that for me. That is where he drew himself. Again 
I was amazed to watch him draw so quickly.

Mr. Aragones was even happy to pose with me for a photo. I am so thrilled!
