seems like we’ve all been lurking lately. I myself have been up to
my neck in lobbyists, legislators, bill drafts, and fellow bureaucrats, as the
legislative session I am inextricably attached to has been particularly intense
this year. </span></p>

plenty of root beer in the mix as well. </span></p>

Topic completely ridicules comment: I was re-reading an old Conan book
(often stopping to think what would happen if it were Groo in the story instead
of Conan) while my wife was watching some movie with Rosie O’Donnell
playing a developmentally disabled character when I suddenly realized that
Rosie O’Donnell and Jack Black are the same person! Has anyone else
ever noticed that? There is no doubt in my mind. The only thing I
can’t figure out is it Rosie O’Donnell disguising herself Jack
Black, or is it Jack Black disguising himself as Rosie O’Donnell? </span></p>

<br>
Normally just a lurker, but I came across this on eBay and thought I would
check in. It's the complete 120-issue Epic/Marvel run, purported to be in
NM condition. Two summers ago -- when the money was flowing and I
re-discovered Groo -- I would have been all over this. Now, I copies of
90+ issues and money's a lot tighter. Still, interesting to see. Is
this any of you guys?<br>

Standard disclaimer: I have no connection to this auction or seller. Just
seemed like something the Groop should know about.<br>

P.S. My 6-ear-old earns a free Pizza Hut personal pizza coupon each month that
he reads at least 300 minutes. I would say that Groo accounts for at
least 5 pizzas over the past couple of school years.</span></p>
