<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I asked Tom about the Festival cover. Groos
eyes are closed in the drawing and that is how Tom colored them. The
printer thought the eyes were open, despite the lack of pupils and so left his
eyes white rather than follow Tom's color guide. I.e., the printer messed
up and there should be no pupils. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Anyone ever end up actually doing this at the Con or Ojai?</DIV>
<DIV>I sadly missed both events but still think it would be
hilarious.</DIV>
<DIV>One day I may just have to show up on their doorsteps and refuse to leave
until Groo gets his pupils.</DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 14px Arial">I don't think it's possible for
there to be a "corrected" cover. However, it might be fun to take a
copy to a Con and have Sergio put the eyes in! In fact, I think I'll
do that. A number of us should do it. Then they will be really
rare, like Honus wagner baseball cards, and our grandkids can sell them for
huge amounts of money in 50 years to put their kids through collge!!!</DIV>

his vast drawing skills towards drawing two tiny dots on thousands of books.
Unfortunately the entire Groop is arrested when Larry gets impatient and
takes another swing at ME.</DIV>
