GERHARD:
Okay, this photo has me really confused... my initial impression was that this sketch was done at a convention or signing, Dave probably roughed it in, Sergio did his bit, Dave inked his part, I added the backgrounds and colour and then we auctioned it off. But that doesn't explain why the "DS 'n' Ger" signature is dated '92 and Sergio’s is dated '91.

A work in progress copy is shown in the back of Cerebus 155, with Sergio and Dave's signatures and the 2 different dates. It said that it would be auctioned at the LA stop of the 92 tour. I wonder since the publication date of 155 was feb 92 if Seegio started it in Nov/Dec 91 and you and Dave finished it in early 92?

Hitting Groo with a hammer might, MIGHT get his attention... for a moment or two.
