Huzzah!

       "Know, o prince, that between the years of the great knockwurst 
famine, and when poodle skirts went out of style, there was an age 
unavoidable.  Hither came Groo, the bumbling, the big-nosed, the mendicant, 
to wander aimlessly, squishing great kingdoms to rubble as cheese dip 
through his toes."
                                       -The Groo Dynasty

Hullo Everyone!
I have to share my joy and celebrate my new acquisition with my Groo 
siblings.
For countless years, I have searched (ebay included) for the Groo Dynasty 
trade paperback.  I was unable to find it when it was first released and it 
has eluded me ever since.  Neither Cons nor local shops could give me a 
lead.  All people, including ME, the Groop, and my brothers in Scandinavia 
were unable to aid me in my quest.
I understand that few have struggled as I have in acquiring this particular 
book but I finally located a mint copy within an ebay lot of assorted Groo 
comics.  (Of course, the Dynasty was carefully hidden within the auction's 
description).
My Groo luck persisted when it took nearly two months (and numerous email 
reminders) for the lot to arrive.  (It seems the seller became suddenly 
consumed with emergencies at work and moving into a new home and my purchase 
became inadvertantly buried in his stuff . . .)
It arrived today and I am certain the package glowed.  I also received today 
the Groo lunchbox and a mint Comic Reader #210 (featuring Groo on the cover) 
that I won in a recent online auction).
My trade paperback collection is now complete (The Inferno is on it's way) 
and my Groo collection is very close to completion (by my definition, not 
Grossman's, of course)
Thanks for partaking in my ecstasy.  I'm off to read the Dynasty to that 
beautiful roommate and friend of mine that some individuals refer to as  
"wife".
Sigh.
