<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Folks!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, I went through all the reprint publications
to recheck my original page calculations. This is the hardest part for me
because Sergio just can't bring himself to leave any blank spaces, just like
Mark has trouble not turning the most inocuous text page into a joke.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The intro page and indicia page on some of the
reprint publications have so much cool art on them, often with funny text,
that it's hard not to count them as "pages," which I have in the
past. (Heck, I bought one from Sergio one year) But this time around
I am being conservative and NOT counting them. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The reprints add 22 original pages inside the books
plus the cover pages, so here are the totals:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Full Length Groo Stories
3844</FONT></DIV>

213</U></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2><STRONG>Total 4391</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This figure is a couple dozen less than one I
previously posted for the reasons noted above. There may be a page here
and there to quibble about and <STRONG>I hope this number is close to what Mark
came up with. Mark?????</STRONG> But rounding off and saying that
the Groo Crew has produced 4400 Groo pages is certainly accurate enough for most
folks. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Take care all, Gary G. </FONT></DIV>
