thank you do much for setting this up, my prints are awesome. I just wish I could do more for Stan in his time of need. I really hope more of the comic world rally's behind him.

My Octopus prints arrived safely yesterday!  Thanks again Gary!  And thanks too for giving us an opportunity to contribute a little to Stan's expenses at this difficult time.

Speaking of helping Stan and Sharon Sakai, CAPS just started another round of ebay auctions to help raise money for Stan and Sharon. 
Included in this round is an auction for some artwork by the late great Dougie McCoy. Dougie actually loved Usagi almost as much as he loved Groo, and I believe he would have been thrilled to have some of his art being auctioned off to help one of his favorite cartoonists. 
What is up for auction is not one drawing by Dougie, nor two, or three, or even four.... It is a set of six individual drawings of various characters from Stan Sakai's saga of the ronin rabbit. Usagi & Tomoe, the woodcutter couple, Gen & Inukai the Stray Dog, Yagi & Gorogoro (Lone Goat & Kid), Kitsune and her apprentice, and last but not least - Jei San & Keiko.

Mine arrived while I was on holidays, and I picked it up yesterday.
Thank you very much Gary for setting this up.

My print is even personalized with a mispelling in my first name!
Great Groo-esque touch! ;-)

I am so happy I stumbled into this! I love all things Groo and recently decided I want to complete my collection. I am on the hunt for any Groo items ever printed and sold to the general public. I started collecting Groo when I was 13 and my father quickly became a fan as well. I remember just pacing almost between issues for the next one to arrive and being so happy when it did. My dad and I would both read it and laugh like crazy people. I lost my dad to cancer 12 years ago and have always wanted to complete my Groo quest as a kind of tribute to him. Work and kids and life caused me to lose touch with Groo but now I am on track and ready to get this done. I'm excited for this and hope to meet some good people in the process! Groo fans are a type of person,my type!

So glad you're here. Unfortunately, this is a group of fans of Groo's Shoes, a shoe store in New York. What is this printed Groo you're talking about?

(What pirates?)
