<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi Steve!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I asked Stan about that drawing and he said he did it, not
Sergio. So it goes in the Groo Drawn by Others category. Stan can
draw Groo & Rufferto so that they are virtually indistinguishable from
Sergio's drawings. In the Dark Horse UY #1 letters column, Stan answers my
question about which of 3 other UY Groo appearances are his and which are
Sergio's. -Gary G. </FONT></DIV>

<P>Just curious if this had been mentioned previously</P>
<P>In the "How I Draw an Issue of Usagi" story by Stan Sakai that first
appeared in Amazing Heroes #187, was expanded and republished in one of the
Fantagraphics hardbound collections, and then reprinted in The Art of
Usagi Yojimbo #1 by Radio Comix ? In it, the first panel on page one
features a drawing by Stan of his studio including original art on the walls.
Sergio reproduced the drawing of Groo which hangs in the
studio. </P>
