no, no, silly Eli! You buy the comics <i>and</i> the trade paperback. If you
don’t buy the comics, you don’t get Groo Grams. And if you don’t get Groo
Grams, you can’t see that Mark didn’t print your letter that you didn’t write.
Sheesh! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue'>Of
course, I buy 2 of each. I buy two of the comics so if I want I can display
the Rufferto’s on the back cover up on my wall at the same time as I put up the
covers. And, as I have explained before, I buy two of the trade paperbacks so
I can see all of the art of the wrap around cover at the same time. I met
someone years ago who said she bought three of everything. One to read, one to
trade, and one to keep in mint condition. (And people say I’m crazy!) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
