10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Unfortunately, it has been many years (and
a couple of computer meltdowns) since I hunted up the Finnish Groos. So
my Finnish contact is ancient history. My MO back in those days was to
google “comics” and a large city in the country I was looking
for. In Northern Europe this usually produced an English speaking
computer savy comics collector. But that was also in the days when
googling “Sergio Aragones Groo” got you a few hundred hits instead
of 10’s of 1,000’s. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I still think a variation of my old method
will work. I’d give various key word combinations a try and see
what happens. The great thing about Northern Europe is that almost
everyone speaks English. Hey! Aren’t there UY fans in Finland?
Surely that could be a good starting place. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Sergio? I keep telling myself I’m going to figure out a way to get
one, but I haven’t had the time. I’ve just got to find a
second generation Taiwanese who still has relatives in Taiwan. Or
something like that. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
